NORTHERN Ballet’s new ballet for children, Elves & the Shoemaker, will hit the Macrobert Arts Centre during the Easter holidays as part of their major UK tour throughout spring 2015.
Choreographed by Northern Ballet’s ballet master, Daniel de Andrade, it is the latest in the company’s award-winning series of Short Ballets for Small People, which already includes the hugely popular Ugly Duckling and Three Little Pigs.
Daniel de Andrade, choreographer of Elves & the Shoemaker and artistic director of Short Ballets for Small People, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be giving young children and their families the opportunity to experience our latest children’s ballet. The children’s ballets are classic tales beautifully retold through dance and are a perfect introduction to ballet.
“We hope to inspire children and their families through these entertaining and enchanting performances to develop a love for live dance, music and theatre. I’m really pleased that this time we are touring more widely across the UK and we look forward to giving even more audiences the chance to experience this truly magical production.” The show will be at the Stirling venue on Thursday 9 April, 12.15pm, 2pm and 4pm, tickets are £8.50/£30 (group of 4), available from the box office on 01786 466 666 or by visiting www.macrobert.org
