Tickets will go LIVE to the public March 15th at midnight. Act 1: This special portion of our spring showcases features select dance classes bringing beloved fairytales and classic works of literature to life through movement, music, and storytelling. Each piece offers a unique twist on a familiar tale — from whimsical adventures to timeless stories you know and love.
Join us for an evening filled with creativity, elegance, and the magic of dance as our performers turn the stage into a living storybook.
Act 2: An Encore original, this ballet is reimagining Little Red Riding Hood, as it tells a redemptive story of choice, consequence, and mercy. A woodcutter strays from the path and is cursed to live a life forever searching for the magic he destroyed. Red, guided by her mother and protected by a cloak woven with love and truth, remains faithful to the path through the forest. As their journeys collide, familiar fairytale moments unfold with new meaning, revealing that true power is not found in taking, but in sacrifice, compassion, and redemption. Through dance, the story invites audiences of all ages to reflect on what it means to be protected, to be lost, and to be redeemed.
