The Magic of Dance
The Story Behind Our Ballerina Dolls
Ballerina dolls are inspired by the small but powerful moments that shape a child’s love of dance — first lessons, new shoes, recital days, and the quiet pride that comes with learning something beautiful.
Each Upper Dhali ballerina doll is designed as a keepsake to celebrate those milestones. With billowing tulle, soft colours, and delicate details, they are created to honour the joy, confidence, and imagination that ballet brings.
Having danced myself when I was younger — and later experiencing those same moments again as a dance mum — I wanted these dolls to capture the magic, effort, and joy that ballet brings, not just on stage, but in all the moments around it.
These dolls are not just gifts, but reminders of effort, creativity, and the magic of believing in yourself — long after the music has faded.
