Breakdown

Part fact, part fiction, Little Dancer is inspired by the obscure fourteen-year-old ballerina who posed for the famed Degas sculpture, “Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen.” The show is set in the glamorous and lurid world of the Paris Opera Ballet, and follows Marie Van Goethem as she struggles to keep her place in the ballet corps, torn by her family’s poverty, her mother’s irresponsibility, the demands of Degas and the lure of wealthy men. Ultimately, this is the story of a girl on the verge of womanhood who inadvertently becomes the most famous dancer in the world.

Seeking:

Male and Female adult ballet dancers who sing to comprise the ensemble and play various characters in the world of the Paris Opera Ballet. Adult Men should be 5’10 or taller and good ballet dancers with strong technique. Adult Female dancers should be good ballet dancers with strong technique.

Also seeking young female ballerinas to play between 13-18 years old. Must dance en pointe and sing.
