The Story of Snow Queen

Childhood friends Gerda and Kai are separated when the Snow Queen casts a spell on Kai and takes him to her Crystal Palace. When Gerda dreams that Kai is still alive, she decides to travel to the Snow Queen's palace to liberate her friend.

Pulling you into a mystical world of sprites, gypsies, ice maidens and more, this performance will take you on an icy journey that will thrill and entertain you during the holidays.

"Snow Queen is such a magical experience. The uplifting music, the fascinating costumes and enchanting choreography make it a wonderful alternative or addition for families' holiday activities. And this season the cast is truly exceptional--this is a ballet that will create very special memories - especially for the children." - Fran Cohen, Artistic Director, Center Dance Ensemble
