Sleeping Beauty Ballet Comes To Cedar City
The Cedar City Junior Ballet Company is producing their annual ballet March 22-23 in the Randall L. Jones Theatre (home to the Utah Shakespeare Festival)
I have to admit up front that my daughter is part of this amazing ballet production. Her dancing parts are small (but so is she at only 7 years old) but I love having her participate in this 2 hour production that includes dancers of all ages (and skill levels) from my community. Every year the Cedar City Junior Ballet puts on a beautiful ballet production that includes both beginner dancers all the way up to senior dance majors, professional actors and dancers and dance instructors.
The dancers prepare for 6 months to present their ballet best to the community of Southern Utah. The costumes are gorgeous and the setting is perfect. Sometimes I have to pinch myself that I live in such a cultural community. Cedar City may be small town but we have some artistic chops. However, this is the only full length ballet production we get to see in Cedar City each year. Fortunately, it is so well done that even my husband (who does not love ballet but loves his little ballerina) told the artistic director last year that it was surprisingly well done and that he thought it was very professional.
And so for any of you mamas in Southern Utah (or passing through) don’t miss this perfect fairytale event. I promise it is going to be stunning. I have had a behind the scenes view for the past 6 months. I know.
