Who are the performers?
All performers have been trained in the Royal Academy of Dance classical ballet curriculum. They are students of Island Youth Ballet and the Children’s Dance Conservatory that have auditioned and been selected for their individual roles. Many of the dancers have passed the Royal Academy of Dance vocational exams, which prepares them for a career in dance, both teaching and performing.
What if a performance is sold out? Can I still purchase tickets?
Often our performances are sold out, so we encourage you to purchase your tickets in advance. If a performance is sold out, 1 hour prior to each performance, you may add your name to a wait list at the box office. Occasionally extra tickets become available (due to illness/weather).
Professional Costume Designers, Choreographers and Theater Technicians have been contracted to assist in creating this memorable production.
