Danced by professional dancers to our youngest students, this ballet is a charming, classic about the trials and tribulation of Noah and his Ark.
In 2004, Mr. Schwennesen choreographed a new ballet to be included in Crockett-Deane Ballet's repertoire. The Wizard of Oz, the classic MGM hit movie, was performed with additional music by Emmett O'Sullivan.
