ONCE UPON A BALLETNYTB IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING AN APPRECIATION OF BALLET AMONG PRESCHOOL AND GRADE SCHOOL YOUNGSTERS. IN ADDITION TO PERFORMING FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC, THE COMPANY REACHES OUT TO CHILDREN WHO HAVE LIMITED EXPOSURE TO THE PERFORMING ARTS - AND TO DANCE IN PARTICULAR - DUE TO SEVERE REDUCTIONS IN PUBLIC EDUCATION ARTS FUNDING. ONCE UPON A BALLET FILLS THIS SERIOUS VACUUM. IT IS A FULL SEASON OF TIME-SHORTENED MINIATURES OF CLASSIC STORY BALLETS, PERFECTLY SUITED FOR THE SHORT ATTENTION SPAN OF YOUNG VIEWERS 3-8 YEARS OF AGE. CLASSICS SUCH AS CINDERELLA AND THE NUTCRACKER CAPTURE THE IMAGINATIONS OF YOUNGSTERS FOR WHOM BALLET IS A NEW FORM OF STORY-TELLING.
