Princesses, fairy godmothers, dwarves, and other fantastical characters will all be dancing across the stage during Ballet Arkansas' 2019-2020 season.

With six main stage performances and a variety of special and collaborative events, the company's 41st season is designed to appeal to a broader audience base and to foster more community involvement. Family-friendly highlights include "Cinderella," "Snow White" and of course "The Nutcracker."

All three of those shows offer an opportunity for young dancers to join the community cast. For more information on that process, check out this cover story about the students who danced in "The Nutcracker" in December 2018.
