* AdultsAreUseless: No adult in the movie does anything to help Félicie about Camille and Regine. This because during this time era, the wealthy were given undeserved respect.

* DrivingQuestion: Odette presents one to Félicie: "Why do you dance?" Félicie's subconscious appears to ask the same question with a recurring dream about her music box. [[spoiler:Once she gets to the end of said dream, (actually a memory of her mother from infancy,) Félicie finds the answer: Dancing is, and always has been, who she is.]]

* HollywoodCostuming: At some points Félicie is shown in shorts and Camille in a black leotard and pink leg warmers, both of which look too modern for 1879.

* {{Irony}}: Félicie only has but one memory of her mother from infancy, but that one memory comes to teach her more about why she wants to dance than Regine did Camille (who brought her up her whole life to only dance for fame).

* WaxOnWaxOff: Odette's method of training Félicie in ballet consists of doing the Le Hauts housework in outlandish ways. It's mostly out of necessity because A) they are dirt poor with no access to real equipment, and B) the chores still need to get done.

* TechnicianVsPerformer: Camille and Félicie.

to:

* TechnicianVsPerformer: Camille and Félicie. As Odette points out, Camille is precise, strong, and has perfect technique thanks to her overbearing StageMom putting her through TrainingFromHell. However, Félicie genuinely loves ballet and is self-driven to succeed, something that shows in her dancing. It's downplayed as Félicie's passion alone isn't enough and she still needs to go through training with Odette (a former prima ballerina) and hone her skills to become a truly great ballerina, but while she can learn technical skills, Camille can't learn passion. [[spoiler:It's best shown in their final "dance battle", where Camille ultimately fails because she's more concerned with showing up Félicie than dancing while Félicie keeps her focus and performs the grand jeté.]]
