Princess Aurora and her court will be dancing onto the Legacy Theatre stage for two performances on Saturday, April 9th at 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
The ballet is open to the public. Tickets are available at www.atthelegacy.com, and are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.

Originally produced in 1890, this classic tale was based on Charles Perrault’s original story La Belle au Bois Dormant with an adaptation by the Brothers Grimm. The artistic team for the show includes Julie Ratz and Gina DeCroix Russell of Dance Arts Studio, and Ronda Brinkman of Springfield Dance. In addition to the wonderful dancers of Springfield and the surrounding communities, the show will also feature professional danseurs Martin Justo and Tevfik Vatansever as the Prince and Bluebird, respectively.
Join Princess Aurora in the Legacy Lounge one half hour before each performance for her Birthday Celebration. Each performance lasts just under an hour, making it kid (and parent)
