The magic behind the Fairies
About The Fairies
The Fairies™ is an enchanting, magical children’s entertainment brand, brought to life as a children’s TV show. It is based on the five central characters in Harmony and Rhapsody (the two beautiful fairies), Barnaby the Bizzy Buzzy Bee, Elf the Fairy Cake Maker and Wizzy the Wizard. Their days are filled with magic, friends, singing, dancing and of course Fan-fairy-tastic fun.
About Fairy Dancing
The Fairy Dancing™ Program is unique, as it provides opportunities for children to immerse themselves in The Fairies™ experience, and to participate in a learning environment which uses music, movement, and dance to develop children’s cognitive, emotional and social needs. By associating fairies with dancing, the art of dance is transformed into a magical experience that children will cherish.
This is the power of The Fairies and Fairyland – every little girl wants to be a fairy, and we are helping to make their dreams come true.

She is certain students will look back on their experience when they are adults and thank their parents for giving them the opportunity to embrace the love of dance.
Megan first fell in love with the brand when her daughter Lily was just two years of age The Fairies approach to introducing children into the world of dance through a magical pathway is unique. Her daughter was always so shy and would never leave her side Fairy Dancing gave her daughter the extra confidence she needed and a new love in her life. She is now a thriving child that has so much more confidence than was ever thought possible.
