Atlantic Ballet Company Presents: Cinderella

The library will host dancers from Camden’s P2P Dance Center, home of the Atlantic Ballet Company, for a performance of their outdoor, family length, “jazzin’ Hip Hop ballet” version of the classic fairytale Cinderella. The performance will take place in the picturesque Amphitheater on Wednesday, August 9th at 5:15 p.m. (with a rain date of August 10th). Bring your own camp chair or a blanket to sit on for this free show, entertaining hour for toddlers and adults alike!

Dancers ages five to adult perform the major roles in this comedic rendition of the fairytale. Characters include the semi-talented step sisters and eccentric stepmother, whom the visiting Dance Teacher makes futile attempts to teach dance steps to for the upcoming ball; and the forlorn Cinderella, who longs to be included in the festivities.

Among Cinderella’s very helpful friends are the squeaky and playful mice who lovingly create an awkward version of a ball gown for her; the Fairy Godmother and hip-hopping Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo Dancers who create Cinderella’ s magical coach ride pulled by the Winged Unicorn; and the Royal Courtiers who lead the procession of guests into the stately ballroom where the step sisters endeavor to win the heart of Prince Charming.

Cinderella is danced by 25 of Atlantic Ballet’s Summer “Dance Your Dream” program participants, who meet at the P2P Dance Center in Camden three to five days a week for dance training, Cinderella rehearsals, swimming, and yoga.
