An original ballet by Deni Jacks featuring more than 150 students from The Children’s Ballet!
Three troublemakers, who think they are the best at everything, go to the park for the day. While dancing in the village, they meet many friends such as skunks, squirrels, poodles and dalmatians, picnic goers, kite flyers, baseball players, and their friends from the village. Suddenly, clowns come to announce a circus is coming to town! After this excitement, the girls skip joyfully to ballet class, where they learn their teacher has been asked to pick the best dancer to be the dancing lady at the circus. However, to the trio’s disappointment, the teacher doesn’t pick any them for the prestigious role, and they scheme to get even. Suddenly, mysterious spirits appear with their leader, the Sorceress of the Circus. She puts a spell on the girls, but nothing is immediately noticable…what will happen?
At the circus, wildcats, tightrope walkers, popcorn sellers, cotton candy, monkeys, a strongman and his assistants, elephants, and zebra all put on a wonderful show. While watching and misbehaving, the troublemakers slowly start turning into zebras! Once their transformation is complete, they are thrown into the ring with the rest of the zebras. They begin to lament on what they did wrong, and the sorceress appears. She asks if they have learned their lesson, and they say yes. They are transformed back into girls, and the ballet teacher appears, revealing herself as the sorceress all along. They all live happily ever after, learning the Magical Lesson
