This Barbie loves ballet: the good and the bad of ballet movies

In this episode, Hermione and Kat delve into the world of ballet movies. Many people have their first ballet experiences and become interested in the art form through ballet in film and TV. Not all ballet movies however, are created equal.

Kat talks about the Barbie ballet movies (Barbie in the Nutcracker 2001, Barbie in Swan Lake 2003 & Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses 2006), and Centre Stage (2000), with Hermione discussing The Red Shoes (1948), Black Swan (2010) and White Nights (1985).
