Water Ballet SHOW
Participation in the Water Ballet Show requires practice times and fees above and beyond Water Ballet lessons; however, a child can take Water Ballet lessons and not participate in the show. Show participants will be grouped according to skill level; individual requests will be honored whenever possible. Additional practices are held for each group during June and July, during which show groups learn and refine their routines.
