Winter’s Waltz
Ran December 14-15, 2019
at Danceworks Studio Theatre
With a tummy full of cocoa and cookies, she sat cozily reading a favorite book until her eyelids began to flutter and she allowed the wave of sleepiness to overtake her. Enchanted by the magic of the season, our young dance fell sweetly into a dream filled slumber.
She was gently awakened by the angelic singing of nearby carolers–but when she looked out of the window, there was only snow blanketing her quiet neighborhood. She searched within her room for the source and followed the celestial voices into a winter adventure that was nearby all along.

Wandering Wonderland
Ran April 6-7, 2019
at the Danceworks Studio Theatre
An absolutely average day begins for sweet Alice. Lovely weather makes for a perfect chance to take her lessons outside. She begins her homework, but before long slips into a dream-filled sleep. Her imagination carries her down the rabbit hole and into a world of endless tea parties, talking caterpillars, and a never-ending card game.
Follow Alice on her danced journey through our Wonderland. This choreographed production is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classics but takes its own twists and turns. Not everything is as it seems…

When King Damien captures all except the very youngest fairy, Bela, she is guided by the Spirit of Winter, Winter Winds, and the Ice Pixies on a great adventure across unknown lands.
