It’s a tradition as big as the holiday season itself.  The young, and the young at heart, will delight to the magic and the wonder of this classic holiday treat, specially conceived for children by NYC’s own Ballet for Young Audiences.

Whatever could compare to the enchantment of the first time a youngster visits the ballet. A dream story only imagined is suddenly brought to life through music, dance, beautiful costumes and light. Ballet for Young Audiences is dedicated precisely to this idea, to introducing the magic of dance to youngsters of all ages. The company’s repertory offers a wide variety of ballets in the universal combined languages of music, dance and the spoken word.
