Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Ballet review
  • Business classy clothing
  1. Step 1

    Pick a classic ballet performance like the Nutcracker or Swan Lake for your first ballet. Purchase tickets from Ticketmaster online or directly from the ballet companies box office. Purchase tickets that have an unobstructed view of the stage.

  2. Step 2

    Review a summary of the ballet before the performance so that you understand the story line behind the dance. Read an illustrated children's version for a quick overview of the story.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a business classy outfit to wear to the ballet. Wear a more formal outfit if you desire, but do not dress down at all. Accessorize your outfit with classic jewelry and a nice pair of heels or flats.

  4. Step 4

    Arrive to the ballet performance early. Leave plenty of time to visit the restroom and find your seats before the ballet begins. Allot enough time for parking and walking to the theater.

  5. Step 5

    Check coats and bags at the coat room. Take your cell phone with you if you need to be reached in case of emergency. Turn the ringer on the cell phone off so it will not interrupt the performance.

  6. Step 6

    Refrain from drinking a lot before and during the performance. Visit the restrooms during intermission only if necessary as the lines are notorious for being very lengthy and slow.
