This year, the UI Youth Ballet and Community Dance School’s annual spring concert will bring favorite childhood stories to life with the new original production Fairy Tales: Stone Soup & Mother Goose. Live piano illuminates the dance with compositions by Edvard Greig and Maurice Ravel.

Each annual spring concert provides a window into dancers' progression as they develop skills and artistry from Pre-Ballet at age 6 through upper-level Ensemble and beyond. Essential to their dance education, student performers are immersed in the rehearsal environment and production elements of a cohesive theatrical dance performance.
