Sleeping Beauty Ballet Lets Your Kid Be the Star

This weekend--two last chances to enjoy this engaging presentation!

Hickory Ballet and Performing Arts students are sharing Sleeping Beauty with young audiences around Catawba County.  This adaptation of the popular 19th-century ballet by Tchaikovsky is designed to teach elements of storytelling through dance and movement. The interactive performances feature different troupes of dancers and are perfect for all ages and for families. Children will be drawn into the experience and get a firsthand feel for how a ballet (and a story) comes together.

Fans of the well-loved Disney movie of the same name will be sure to recognize familiar characters in the ballet, along with Tchaikovsky’s music  Little ones will enjoy seeing Princess Aurora come to life in full costume!  The Hickory Ballet performances are generously presented by the Friends of the Catawba County Library.
