Ballet- Cinderella Student Guide

We are delighted to share the joy of dance and the expressive power of ballet with you and your students. San Francisco Ballet Student Matinee performances are a wonderful way to expose children to the transformative power of creativity through the performing arts. We invite you to explore the magical world of Christopher Wheeldon’s Cinderella©. This Student Matinee Story Guide includes resources to prepare children for the performance, including links to videos about Cinderella©. We encourage you to use the SF Ballet Student Matinee Education Guide before and after the performance to explore movement and dance, learn about ballet, and discover what happens behind the scenes of a ballet production.
