ABOUT THE BALLET


This ballet includes elements of both the classical version of the ballet and elements of the animated versions of the traditional fairy tale.  All dance to the wonderful music of Tschaikovsky.  This collaborative effort between the Valdosta School of Ballet and VSU Theatre & Dance is a wonderful opportunity for the talented actors and dancers to share their tremendous talents with parents, family, friends, and the community with the classical beauty, fun, and romance of this new version of Sleeping Beauty.
