Ballet is a stage dance form that is performed with music and is characterized by a thoroughly described technique that places specific demands on the dancer. How to introduce preschool children to this type of dance expression was the goal of this thesis. Dance education in early and preschool education is focused more on children's creative movement and free artistic expression. In this way, children transfer their inner experience to their environment through movement. This is an extremely important segment for a number of areas of child development because it affects the motor, social, emotional, and cognitive development of children. Through the activities that the author carried out in institutions for early and preschool education with her group, it can be concluded that we cannot directly teach children of this age classical ballet techniques that contain strict rules. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt the activities to the children in an appropriate way, thus sparking the children's interest and their positive reactions. The most important thing is to let children immerse themselves in the world of dance and classical music, which leads to the initiation of their independent creativity. A key role in introducing children to a new world, in this case the world of ballet, is certainly played by teachers. They are one of the main factors for success because the entire educational process depends on their will to provide children with new knowledge and experiences.
