A video montage to honor our School's history and celebrate our students' hard work, dedication, and passion for dance.

Originally planned as a major stage production, this 65th Anniversary program features excerpts from four classical full-length ballets originally staged for Princeton Ballet School by its founder, Audrée Estey. The ballets include: Coppélia, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Nutcracker. Over 150 dancers participated in this video production, ranging from our youngest students to our adult Open Enrollment dancers.

When the studios closed in March 2020 due to the pandemic, School classes and rehearsals moved online. Teachers taught choreography over Zoom and students found ways to dance at home and outdoors – wherever they could find safe space.

We are so proud of their commitment and creativity, and thank our incredible team of faculty, staff, and volunteers that helped to make this virtual production possible. They overcame technical glitches, rechoreographed dances to make them appropriate for small spaces, coordinated no-contact costume pickups, and – most importantly – created a positive way for our students to connect and express themselves during this unprecedented time.
