The highlight of each year's Spring Performance is a full-length ballet performed by the students of the syllabus program (Pre-Ballet through Level 9). Each class has a specific role in the ballet with the soloist roles filled by advanced dancers and graduating seniors.
Rather than a series of unrelated "recital" pieces, the ballet is an integrated story drawn from the classics, including Sleeping Beauty, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Cinderella, or a new story especially choreographed for ASB, such as 2007's ballet, The Enchanted Toy Shop. By participating in a full-length story ballet, children learn the discipline and teamwork that is required to perform to professional standards.
The story ballet is preceeded by works by repertory works performed by the advanced Modern Dance class and by Commonwealth Ballet.
We have received many compliments on the production. For example:
As a mother and friend of ballet, I wanted to compliment you for creating and performing in The Enchanted Toy Shop, a beautiful testament to a great ballet school with exemplary students!....
