I am excited to present the 2018-19 season for Grand Rapids Ballet School Junior Company. It is hard to believe, but this will be the eigthth season and I am proud of all the growth and achievements we have made over the years. I am thrilled to bring back audience favorites from our existing repertoire that are perfect for the whole family: Spooktacular captures the excitement of children on Halloween night, Who Am I? A Butterfly Ballet takes the audience on an adventure through the eyes of a butterfly, and Beauty & the Beast is a classic tale as old as time. All three ballets provide a unique blend of characters, storytelling, and dancing that are sure to entertain audiences members of any age. I look forward to sharing these ballets with you this season!

spooktacular! On Halloween night, a young boy’s only wish is to trick or treat with his older sister. When she refuses to let him tag along, he embarks on a mischievous plan to get their candy. Mummies and Martians and witches—oh my!

Beauty &
Beast THE
Belle—a bright, beautiful young woman—is taken prisoner by a beast in its castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the beast’s hideous exterior, allowing her to recognize the kind heart and soul of the true prince that hides on the inside.
