| 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. |
