Discover the Magic of Ballet
Our ballet performance is a celebration of tradition and innovation, bringing together talented dancers to tell the story of Les Ruses d’Amour, a dazzling comic ballet that will tickle your fancy! This gem whisks you away to an Italian villa bursting with laughter and unexpected twists! Watch as dancers, actors, jugglers, and a whole circus of characters spring into action, bringing the hilarious escapades of Isabelle and Damis—two lovebirds in disguise to life! Perfect for the whole gang, this ballet is the ultimate fun-filled enrichment adventure for kids from Kindergarten to forever!
Presented by Portland Metro Arts, a leader in fostering creativity and cultural appreciation in the community.
What Our Audience Says
Jason Lee School, 2nd grade
Please, please put us on your mailing list for next year. I could not believe how totally involved my students were.
Cedar Park School, 2nd grade
Once the program began, my students didn’t even move until the end. That says a great deal. Thanks also for the music CD to help the kids become familiar with the score. They were humming the tunes for weeks after.
Arleta School, 4th/5th grade
Some of my students had never seen a ballet before. Even the boys who try to be tough and cool were fascinated.
