Ballet Posters

Ballet posters can add great ambiance to a room or studio, and there are plenty of ways to find great ones! From shopping at local print shops to creating your own, a quality poster featuring dance pictures can really step up the way you feel about a certain space.

Ballet posters come in all different shapes and styles, and for the sake of narrowing it down, this article will focus on what will look good in a large room or dance studio. First of all, you’ll want to try to keep wall clutter to a minimum – a few large, strategically placed posters are going to serve a space better than many things hung haphazardly on the wall.

There are a few different sizes of posters – the two largest traditionally being 16” by 20” or 18” by 24”. You can also sometimes find posters in a larger size – 24” by 36”. If you go for the largest size, then you will definitely not need more than a couple of posters to complete your room.

The image on a poster should complement what your mission and viewpoints are. If you’re a classical ballet studio, then you will want to represent more of what your business offers, rather than more modern forms of ballet and contemporary dance. If you are looking for a dance poster for your living room or other large space, then you probably want to choose something that will fit the décor – a lime green and brown decorating space with modern furniture probably won’t compliment a classical ballet poster well. Get a feel for what your style is, and then you can properly narrow down the selection of posters you have to choose from, whether it's a poster of five positions or your favorite choreographer.

The easiest way to find ballet posters is to order them online. It’s quick, convenient, and often economical. Websites like AllPosters.com feature a decent selection of dance posters and other artistic prints that are marked down and available to ship within 24 hours. Art.com is another great website choice.

Next, you can visit your local print or poster shop. This might be found in your community shopping center, in a standalone store front, or as part of a printing business that also prints customized literature.

Speaking of customization, making your own ballet posters is another option. If you have photographs of your dancers that you exceptionally like, or if you have students that can serve as enthusiastic models, you can print some of your own students or teachers on posters. This is a good way to advertise your dance studio or bring special memories into your home. Dig up some recital photos you love, or spend an afternoon shooting some new shots that will make for great prints. These can then be printed at your local print shop, or through an online option such as PR Posters.com.

When you’re ready to hang your ballet posters, you again have a couple of options. You can purchase poster frames at almost any home store, and these are a great long-term option. However, if you don’t have the money to spend on these frames, you can attach your posters to inexpensive foam core and then mount them with poster putty or tacks.

You can also tack or tape them directly to the wall, however this often does not look very professional and can easily tear or damage the posters if you ever have to move them. They can also damage the wall paint.

Finally, if you find your posters come out particularly well, you can consider selling them as a fundraiser. This works exceptionally well if you opted with printing personalized posters with your own dancers. Sell them for the holidays and earn some money for your group.
