California Contemporary Ballet is pleased to announce our newest ballet, Thumbelina, a full-length ballet based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen, with original choreography by Aerin Holt and original music by Dwight Mikklesen.
California DanceArts encourages all students and dancers to participate in, and take advantage of, this new opportunity. If you had the good fortune of participating in CCB's The Snow Queen ballet this past December, then you know what a joy it is for both young and mature dancers to take part in such a production. As you will soon discover, our Thumbelina will present dancers with yet another rewarding performance opportunity.
