With a mix of both original choreography and well-known variations, performers will find themselves portraying characters within this fantastical world using the variety of dance styles they learn in class. Each core class will have a theme.

This plotless ballet is loosely inspired by Josef Bayer’s “The Fairy Doll” (1888) as well as the 2006 comedy film “Night at the Museum” by Shawn Levy and the 1993 children’s book of the same name by Milan Trenc.
