The Beauty of Ballet February 27, 2011

Queens Theatre in the Park (QTP) presents The School of American Ballet: The Beauty of Ballet on Sunday, February 27, 2011 at 1pm and 3pm at Queens Theatre in the Park, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Flushing, NY. Tickets are FREE. Reservations are required and can be made by phone at 718-760-0064.

How do ballerinas dance on their toes? How do dancers spin in place without getting dizzy? Those questions and more will be answered when the world-famous School of American Ballet, the official academy of New York City Ballet, comes to Queens Theatre in the Park. SAB faculty will introduce children to the beauty of ballet, and illustrate how talented students can develop into accomplished classical dancers. Class exercises are shown along with performance excerpts from ballets such as "The Nutcracker" and "The Sleeping Beauty".

The School of American Ballet: The Beauty of Ballet is part of Queens Theatre in the Park’s Kids’ Corner series, sponsored by Queens Center.
