A Fairy Tale Gathering is an original narrated ballet by Co-Founder Emily Hartka that’s specially designed for children and their families! The 45-minute interactive production features Charlottesville Ballet’s professional company artists and a cast of local students playing whimsical friends who join Fairy Godmother for an enchanting afternoon tea party. Meet Cinderella as she dreams of the ball. Help the Prince wake up his Sleeping Beauty. Look for Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and other famous fairy tale princesses in this perfect introduction to the magic of dance!

Also join us for exclusive Fairy Tale Tea Parties!

Treat your little one to a very special Fairy Tale Tea Party after the show! Children can meet the dancers, make their own tea time crafts, and take photos with their favorite characters. All-inclusive children’s tickets are available for both the ballet performance and the Tea Party following the show
