Abstract:
A ballerina doll (10) comprising a torso (12) and a head (14) having a neck (16) integral with the torso (12). A pair of arms (18) are connected to the torso (12). A pair of legs (20) are also connected to the torso (12). A ribbon (22) is provided with a facility (24) for connecting in a permanent manner a middle portion (26) of the ribbon (22) to a crown portion (28) of the head (14). In a first instance the ribbon (22) can be tied into a decorative bow (30). IN a second instance the ribbon (22) when untied can be gripped on it's free ends (32), by a thumb (34) and index finger (36) of a first hand (38) of a person (40), to be carried therefrom. In a third instance the torso (12) can be rotated in a first direction by a second hand (42) of the person (40) to twist the ribbon (22) when gripped by a first hand (38). When the torso (12) is released, the ballerina doll (10) will rotate in an opposite second direction, to simulate twisting and spinning while dancing.
