some characters you would recognise from ballets.

This is for Livvie's birthday party. Everyone gets a sticker with a character name on the back and can ask yes or no questions to guess the character. I'm asking for some non researched, off the cuff ideas because I realised Livvie and I may know too much and come up with characters too esoteric for the average 6-10 year old.

The Nutcracker and The Rat King from Nutcracker Suite.

Has Phantom been a ballet?

Romeo and Juliet
the ballet-dancing hippos from the Nutcracker (as long as we are being honest)

However, for the average six-year-old? Are they into dance normally? Because if they are not, I doubt they could name any.

at MPH!!

I think most of them will be lost beyond Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake. Liv wanted to use characters like Giselle and Coppelia, and I had to explain that no one would "get" them.

Ooooh, I know exactly who my Angelina will be! (Not Livvie, her youngest little guest who's 4.)

Don't you mean "Fantasia"? If you mean the Nutcracker, then my daughter's ballet classes missed something.

I suspect that most six-year-olds even in ballet class probably wouldn't know classic ballets, other than that, though, unless they have an exceptional teacher.
