Welcome to "The Making of DanceVision's 'The Snow Queen.'"
We plan to bring you behind the scenes of our new full length ballet, based on the Hans Christian Andersen tale of the same name. It has been adapted for the stage and choreographed by Risa Kaplowitz, who also brought us "The Secret Garden." You can watch with us as "The Snow Queen" grows from a children's story to a full length ballet production with the dancers of the DanceVision Performing Company.
The production is off to a great start! Pre-production planning for costumes, set pieces, scene projection, and props is in full swing. Almost 60 children, ages 6-18, came out for the audition on September 17. Additionally, 10 adults will perform in the production.
Risa Kaplowitz, choreographer, and Maura Ryan, rehearsal assistant, demonstrate steps for a group of potential "doves."
