Ballerina Coloring Pages
Make free printable ballerina coloring pages from 13 pictures we drew ourselves: ballerina in fifth position on pointe, ballerina in arabesque, ballerina doing a plié at the barre, ballerina spinning a pirouette, ballerina in a long bell tutu, ballerina at the barre by a mirror, ballerina taking a bow, two ballerinas dancing, pointe shoes and flowers, ballerina on stage, ballerina with a bouquet, ballerina in second position, big simple ballerina. Every dancer stands in a real ballet position from the University of Georgia’s ballet proficiency standards: first, second and fifth position, a plié, a tendu, an arabesque and the pirouette with the toe at the knee. Most wear the short, stiff Classical tutu that sits at the hips; one wears the long, bell-shaped Romantic tutu that ends at the calf, as The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis describes the two. They are our own dancers, not any ballet company, production, film or book character, with no costume from a named ballet, and nothing carries words, brand or product names or logos. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a stage scene with two dancers between the curtains under a moon and stars, a fold-in-half card, or a ballerina mandala with small ballerinas round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Plain ballerinas to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 dancers with no eye, tutu or shoe lines, so children can draw their own; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Page
Runs in your browser with our own code; names and words never leave your device, and nothing is saved. Every picture is our own drawing, black lines on white, with no film, book or cartoon characters, mascots, brands or logos. The ballerina pictures are our own drawings of a young dancer with her hair in a bun, closed eyes and a stiff Classical tutu at the hips (one in a long bell-shaped Romantic tutu to the calf), in real ballet positions: fifth position on pointe, an arabesque, a plié at the barre, a pirouette, the long tutu, at the barre by a mirror, taking a bow, two dancers, pointe shoes and flowers, on stage, with a bouquet, second position and a big simple ballerina. They are not any ballet company, production, film or book character and wear no costume from a named ballet. Nothing carries words, brand or product names or logos. The plain ballerinas have no eye, tutu or shoe lines, for drawing your own. The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed. The lettering fonts keep their own open licenses.

Shapes are the closed outlines the tool draws for each picture at each level, counted by the tool. Simple keeps the dancer (head, bun, closed eyes, arms, tutu, legs and shoes) and the stage floor, barre, mirror or curtains; Medium and Detailed add the smaller lines, such as the tutu folds, the bodice line, the floor boards and the shoe stitching.
Plain ballerinas to decorate
| Ballerinas per page | Each fits (US Letter) | Each fits (A4) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 186 mm square | 181 mm square |
| 2 | 120 mm square | 129 mm square |
| 4 | 89 mm square | 86 mm square |
| 6 | 77 mm square | 83 mm square |
Sizes are for the page with No title chosen; a title at the top makes them a little smaller. Each plain ballerina has no eye, tutu or shoe lines (14 shapes: head, bun, hair, neck, bodice, tutu, two arms with hands and two legs with pointe shoes), so the face and the costume are up to you.
Simple to detailed lines
| Lines | Outlines | Small details | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 1.8 mm | 1.4 mm | Toddlers, chunky crayons, big markers |
| Medium | 1.1 mm | 0.8 mm | Most children, colored pencils |
| Detailed | 0.75 mm | 0.5 mm | Older children and adults, fine pens and pencils |
Line widths are measured at print size. The thinnest line on any page is 0.5 mm, so every shape stays open to color.

Are these ballerina coloring pages free?
Yes. Every page is free to make, download and print, with no sign-up and no watermark. All the pictures are our own drawings.
Which ballerina pictures are there?
13: ballerina in fifth position on pointe, ballerina in arabesque, ballerina doing a plié at the barre, ballerina spinning a pirouette, ballerina in a long bell tutu, ballerina at the barre by a mirror, ballerina taking a bow, two ballerinas dancing, pointe shoes and flowers, ballerina on stage, ballerina with a bouquet, ballerina in second position, big simple ballerina. On top of those there is a stage scene, plain ballerinas to decorate, a mandala, a lettering poster and name pages.
Which ballet positions are shown?
First, second and fifth position, a plié, a tendu, an arabesque and a pirouette. The University of Georgia’s ballet proficiency standards list pliés in second, first and fifth positions, battements tendus, arabesques and pirouettes among the steps students learn.
Why do the tutus look different?
The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis describes the Romantic tutu as large and bell-shaped, ending at the calf or ankle, and the Classical tutu as made of stiffer materials so it does not droop below the waist and hips. Most of our dancers wear the short Classical tutu; the ballerina in a long bell tutu wears the Romantic one.
Is this a ballerina from a ballet or a film?
No. Every dancer is our own drawing, not any ballet company, production, film or book character, with no costume from a named ballet, and nothing in the pictures carries a name or logo.
Which ballerina pages suit toddlers and preschoolers?
Choose Simple lines: big shapes with thick outlines. The pointe shoes and flowers and the big simple ballerina have the fewest shapes, as the table shows.
Can I make a page for every child in my class?
Yes. Choose Class set, pick a picture and paste the names, one per line, up to 40. Each child gets the same picture with their own name in hollow letters at the top, all in one PDF.
Are there ballerina coloring pages for adults?
Yes. Choose Ballerina mandala with Detailed lines: each pattern number gives a different symmetric design. Choose 16 repeats for the most intricate pattern.
Can I sell what I make with these pages?
Yes. The pictures are our own drawings, and the note under the tool sets out how you may use them, including for things you sell.
How do I print the coloring pages?
Download the PDF and print it on plain paper. Choose 100% or Actual size to keep the margins and sizes as drawn; Fit to page also works if your printer cuts off the edges.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Names and words are not sent anywhere, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
