What is a Storybook Ballet?
A Storybook Ballet is a full-length ballet based on a children's story. The ballet is professionally presented with full sets, backdrops, and beautiful costumes. (It's not a children's recital). Dancers from Littleton Youth Ballet, the non-profit youth ballet company associated with Littleton Ballet Academy are the performers, along with professional guest artists. This production is family-friendly and the perfect way to introduce your children to ballet.
