Watch the clips below and enjoy the beauty, strength, and power of these magical dancers!
After having the chance to “warm up” with members of the Greensboro Ballet and then participating in an interactive workshop and performance, our children reflected on what they saw, heard, and felt. The following drawings are a part of this reflection:
