Sometimes in a series, one or more main characters will get the desire to try some ballet. In that episode, there will be a ballet thematic permeating the milieu. Expect some music from one of Tchaikovsky's three ballets (or from some other ballet) to be played at some point. Expect someone to wear a tutu and tights. And especially expect a lot of dancing. This trope concerns those episodic installments where ballet plays an important role in the plot, in stark contrast to the larger work of which it's a part. It may be in the form of someone going to a ballet class or performing in a show or just going to the show/rehearsal, but such episodes will often make reference to classical ballet within their story, and it's a sure bet at least one of the main characters will be involved. The following scenarios are possible for such installments: A tough character wants or needs to explore their sensitive side - whether by their own choice or at the urging of others - and takes up ballet. Alternatively, one or more people discover that the tough character does ballet, and their perceptions of the tough character are changed. A traditionally masculine character wants or needs to immerse themselves in the "girls' world" and decides to take a ballet class for some reason. A male character secretly enjoys ballet and/or other "girly" things but doesn't want to reveal this to his traditionally masculine friends. A dreamy, idealistic character (usually a little girl) dreams of being in the ballet and signs up for class... but learns it isn't as glamorous and dreamy as they expected. A character with a lack of interest in ballet discovers a unique talent for it, and has to decide what to do with their talent. Around half the time it will be a boy taking up ballet. He will be ridiculed by the others, but still shine through in the end. Another typical plot element is having a male character appear in female ballet attire. Good for cheap laughs. Often part of a "Gender-Normative Parent" Plot. For larger or standalone works about ballet, see, well, Ballet. For works in which it's Played for Horror, see Creepy Ballet. |

The Puella Magi Madoka Magica Concept Movie appears to be one for Madoka; whereas Homura, in Rebellion, skewed a bit towards the modern side of things, Madoka's performance is purely classical, and even her performance tutu is typical of classical ballet. | |

The Little Rascals: In "Rushin' Ballet" Alfalfa and Spanky disguise themselves as ballerinas and find themselves Pushed in Front of the Audience during a recital. Antagonists Butch & Worm dress up like boy balletists and sneak on too in order to continue beating up on Alfalfa. The same plot point was used in the 1994 film. In another short Froggy woos his gal Marylin by putting on a ballet recital. Since he knows nothing of ballet he uses Wire Fu to make great leaps. |

The Simpsons: The B-story of the episode "Homer vs. Patty and Selma" has Bart forced to take ballet for gym class after he comes late to class and all the other electives were taken. He becomes surprisingly good at it, but performs wearing a mask to keep from being teased. When the school bullies become moved by his performance, Bart unmasks himself, thinking that they will accept him now. They wail on him anyway. "Smoke on the Daughter" has Lisa being forced by Marge to live her dream of being a ballerina (she tried out as an adult, but her leg got stuck in place while practicing), where she discovers that the ballerinas take up smoking to make themselves better. Homer and Bart steal the cigarettes before the big recital, causing them all to breakdown in front of everybody, followed by Lisa denouncing the art of ballet. |

Taz-Mania: In "Molly's Folly", Molly wants to prove to Taz that girls are better than boys at everything, so she challenges him to take ballet lessons. The instructor, Emu Child, puts him through her paces. Taz manages to keep up with the class (more or less), but when they go into their spins, his tornado manages to suck up all the other students. When Taz refuses to admit that he's not as good as the girls, Molly gives him private lessons. When it's time for the recital, Taz's overexuberance wrecks the show, but Molly forgives him and tells him that she's proud of his efforts. (Being the kind of show it is, Molly acknowledges that this isn't how the show usually ends, but tells the audience that this is how they're doing it this time and that they should accept it.) | |

The Flintstones had two examples of this: "Rushin' Ballet" gave Fred Flintstone his trademark "twinkle toes" bowling style. In "My Fair Freddy" (one of the very last episodes of the series), Barney and the Great Gazoo stage a charm school for Fred in the garage (with Gazoo promising not to use his magic for once) after Fred and Wilma find themselves accepted into a Country Club. Fred ends up dancing ballet in tights and a small tutu as part of the class. Unknown to them all, Wilma and Betty see Fred doing this and Wilma is touched by Fred's intentions, but eventually this attracts a crowd of people around Bedrock (including the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo), who discreetly watch Fred. Fred eventually ends his ballet and discovers the crowd watching him, driving him into Shameful Shrinking. |

In Despicable Me, Gru's adopted trio of little girls are in ballet class for an upcoming recital for Swan Lake, and the girls want him to come see it, but he has doubts because the date conflicts with his own plans. This becomes an important subplot in the latter half of the movie because it represents a turning point in Gru's character development. Character wise, he was, at first, adverse to even letting them go to class. Then at the end, he went through hoops and turns just to be in their dance recital. Personality wise, he was at first too "evil" to care about little things like the girls' own personal lives, then at the end he warmed up enough to them to the point he'll give up his dreams for them and protect them at all costs, and he also got his spacesuit colored pink... because real foster fathers wear pink. | |

The Muppet Babies (1984) episode "Twinkle-Toed Muppets" sees the babies trying to teach Scooter how to dance. A debate between Miss Piggy and Skeeter on the nature of ballet serves as the B-story. | |

Some episodes of Barney & Friends have a ballet segment within the episode. For example: In "Practice Makes Music", pianist Greg Murray plays "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" as four young, unnamed ballerinas (and one young boy balletist in the middle of the line) do a brief performance to the music. In "I Just Love Bugs", when imagining themselves as butterflies, Luci, Tina, and Derek perform a brief butterfly ballet while wearing capes that are supposed to resemble butterfly wings. This time, the music was "Dance of the Reed Flutes". "Dance of the Reed Flutes" makes a return during Barney and Min's pas de deux in "Grown Ups for a Day" after Min tells Barney that when she grows up, she wants to be a professional dancer. |

In the short "Loon Lake" from the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Music Day", Shirley the Loon attends a ballet class alongside the snooty Perfecto Prep swans, led by Giselle. The Swans bully her, mostly by making fun of the way she talks, but with Babs' encouragement (and backstage sabotage), Shirley manages to outshine the Swans at their recital. | |

Reinforced by Team Rocket's disguises in the episode. The show later returns in the Pokémon Chronicles episode "Luvdisc Is a Many-Splendored Thing", with Violet in the lead this time around. | |

Reinforced by Team Rocket's disguises in the episode. The show later returns in the Pokémon Chronicles episode "Luvdisc Is a Many-Splendored Thing", with Violet in the lead this time around. Downplayed with "A Bout with Sprout" in that while dance is not the prevalent theme of the episode, the guest star from the games is Earl Dervish, who is rather infamous both in-universe and out-of-universe for pirouetting at random, and here, he's depicted wearing blue dance tights. |
