Bethany the Ballet Fairy is the 50th book in the mainline Rainbow Magic series, and the first in the Dance Fairies subseries.
While on the train to see a ballet, Rachel and Kirsty spot a group of fairies caught in an icy whirlwind, revealing that Jack Frost has stolen the Dance Fairies' magic ribbons.
Tropes:
- Continuity Nod: Bethany creates a seeing pool to explain the conflict to Rachel and Kirsty, a feat established back in the Jewel Fairies series that Emily teaches fairies to do, albeit to see the future and not the past.
- Damsel in Distress: Kirsty gets frozen by the goblin, temporarily leaving her out of commision.
- Disguised in Drag: A goblin pretends to be a ballerina and dresses in a pink tutu.
- Shout-Out: The girls attend a showing of Swan Lake.
