Hans Christian Andersen’s invincible Snow Queen will again take the stage to weave her evil magic March 31, 2012 at 2pm and 7pm at the Concord City Auditorium. This incomparable tale of childhood friends who mature and grow away from one another only to be rejoined as young adults has been a favorite of both children and adults since it was written. The story is one of mystery and adventure and a marvelous journey where Gerda encounters wondrous creatures of the forest in her quest to locate her friend Kay. It is a reflection of the journeys all must travel on the way to adulthood.
Music by Ward Dilmore, highly acclaimed composer and musician of Hampton Falls, NH, provides the background for choreography that dramatically portrays happiness, fear, sadness, anger and all the emotions elicited by the events taking place.

Lighting, costumes and storytelling further enhance the ballet and will delight audiences young and old.

The company is composed of pre-professional dancers accepted into the group through the audition process. Dancers must take a required number of technique classes per week in both ballet and modern dance in addition to the rehearsal schedule, which often adds another five hours of work at the studio.
