Starting from court ballet to modern and non-narrative ballet, the genre has evolved significantly and continues to do so. The choice of musical accompaniment and the relationship between ballet and music have likewise changed with time in many ways. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is definitely one of the most important persons in the world of ballet music, and the co-creator of The Nutcracker, Marius Petipa, is indispensable in the world of ballet choreographies. Although The Nutcracker received its glory from subsequent, revised versions, the universality of its theme, as well as the music quality, have been attracting both grownups and children. Closeness to the children’s world is enabled by the original text written by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, which served as the inspiration for the ballet’s libretto. For the aforementioned reasons, The Nutcracker ballet was chosen as a means of bringing the ballet form closer to the preschool-age children. The introduction of the ballet in a preschool institution was carried out through compositions the The Waltz of the Flowers and the Chinese dance, which were used to improve children’s ability of recognizing the music atmosphere, meter and tempo, musical ensemble, tone characteristic and dynamics. The development of children’s creativity was encouraged through creative instrumental, dance and artwork, and it has opened space for further work inspired by ballet.
