Welcome Spring! celebrates the rich emotion and exuberance of St. Paul Ballet’s student dancers. Audiences will ride the surging emotions of the music together with the dancers in this perfect blend of classic works and new work created specifically for them.
The annual showcase highlights the talent in the School, from young students beginning their training to advanced students on the verge of college or career.
Performances by the upper levels feature premieres by choreographers Penelope Freeh and Sean Scantlebary and timeless excerpts from the fantasy worlds of Le Corsaire and Don Quixote staged by choreographer Helen Hatch.
The younger dancers explore movement inspired by famous artwork with choreography by teaching artists, Christina Onusko, Alejandra Iannone, Aloe Lui, Jennifer Mack, Hannah Pierce, and Siri Drontle with an appearance by pre-ballet dancers.
Nothing matches the boundless passion of young talent in live theater. You won’t want to miss this pay-as-you-can event!
