The Maple Youth Ballet was honored to be invited to participate in South Bay Ballet's annual production of BRAVO! The Contemporary & Classical Dance Experience.

The Maple Youth Ballet thanks The George Balanchine Trust for granting permission to perform Valse Fantaisie, to the Jacobs School Ballet Department at Indiana University for lending costumes designed for Valse Fantaisie, and to our own Shawn Stevens for lending her expertise as Balanchine Trust repetiteur by staging this "fast & furious" ballet.
