Giselle
Columbia Ballet School has challenged hundreds of young dancers in ambitious productions of Giselle, The Red
Shoes
, and La Bayadere, as well as more whimsical works such as Sneaky Pete (based upon Peter and the Wolf)
and
Peter Pan. Many dancers have graduated and gone on to college and to professional careers in dance and
other areas. We thank them all for the use of their photos. Many of these dancers are still at our studio looking
forward to taking part in our production this May, which will celebrate our 27 years in Columbia.  Thanks to
Wes Stokes, Carl Eisenstadt, Anne Snellgrove, Tim Kana, and other volunteers for these photos.
Sneaky
Pete
"Any great work of art revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success
is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world -- the extent to which it invites
you in and lets you breathe its strange,special air."

Leonard Bernstein
La Bayadere
The dance is a
poem of which
each movement is
a word.
Mata Hari (1876 - 1917)
Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another.
