What is pantomime? 🎭 In ballet, pantomime is the ultimate storytelling tool—a blend of gesture and movement that helps dancers communicate emotions, relationships, and plot points without speaking a single word. In ballets such as SLEEPING BEAUTY, pantomime helps tell the complicated story. Through specific gestures that indicate words like sleep, die, prince, and more, the Lilac Fairy and the rest of the characters in the show help draw you deeper into the fairytale.
