Princeton Ballet School students performed excerpts from Giselle restaged by Maria Youskevitch, new choreography by Douglas Martin and Mary Barton from The Nutcracker and Moog Suite by Sherry Alban at Cranbury Day on Main Street September 11th. 

Thanks to all who auditioned for The Nutcracker and a special congratulations to those selected! 

Welcome back to classes -- we look forward to a productive and fun year!
ARB Education and Outreach Activities
ARB welcomed visitors from Johnson & Johnson to our 2010 DANCE POWER scholars' first Princeton Ballet School class a few weeks ago.  The students were handpicked from their 3rd grade classes last spring based on their participation in the DANCE POWER program.  They were selected to study at the Princeton Ballet School on scholarship because of their talent and interest in pursuing dance beyond the DANCE POWER program. 

Meanwhile, DANCE POWER is about to start its 26th Season in the New Brunswick public school district this month!
