Join the Cast of Enchanted Tales

Children ages 5-8 can join the cast of Enchanted Tales, our celebration of ballet’s golden era! Dancers will participate in The Firebird as Fairies of the Golden Apple Tree, the magical tree that feeds the Firebird. This is a fun way for your child to participate in our spring production. No prior dance experience is required.

Each dancer will perform in 1 of our 2 performances. Dancers will learn basic ballet technique and enjoy a unique performance experience. This is a good choice for children considering adding ballet as a new activity, as well as for BTCA’s Joy of Dance, Creative Dance, Pre-Primary and Preparatory level students.

Be a Fairy registration is closed for 2024.
