Visions of holiday magic will dance in your head as The Rockbridge Ballet brings the world-famous Clement Clarke Moore poem to life. Holiday inspired pieces will complete the second half of this production that celebrates the joy and excitement of the season.
“The Night Before Christmas,” perhaps the most famous Christmas poem in the world, gave us our modern idea of Santa Claus, his reindeer, and of course, Christmas presents.
The Rockbridge Ballet’s heart-warming production captures the spirit of the holiday season, the magic of gift-giving, and Christmas joy through the beauty of dance. This show will star the Ballet’s talented local dancers in fun roles that showcase their artistry, talent, and athleticism. This brand-new production will celebrate the season with Santa, Rudolph, the Snow Queen, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and all your favorite holiday friends.
This production is sponsored by CornerStone Bank, Austin Electrical Construction Inc., The Virginia Commission for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
