HISTORY OF SPRINGTIME FAIRYTALE

 

15 years ago, Bayer Ballet’s Artistic Director,  Inna Bayer was inspired to create a story ballet for her first students of the Academy,  The earliest version of this ballet was performed in the winter and was called “Winter Fairytale.” “My vision for this ballet was to create a whimsical libretto for these young dancers to learn the art of storytelling and performance, while demonstrating the technical  pre-ballet foundations of the Vaganova method.” 

 

This ballet has become an integral component to the teaching of performance and storytelling skills within the Pre-Ballet Division and is performed annually in the Silicon Valley.
