The story of Cinderella is a classic known and beloved across the world for its rags-to-riches plot. Over the years, Charles Perrault’s 17th-century tale has taken many forms – films, various literary iterations, stage plays – but none more exquisite than Sergei Prokofiev’s Cinderella, Op. 87 ballet. Edwaard Liang’s rendition of the fairy tale at the Washington Ballet is nothing short of a revelation, packed with entrancing choreography throughout all three acts. Here, a classic tale is reinvented to somehow exude even more elegance.

NAC Dance’s presentation of The Royal Winnipeg Ballet's Hansel & Gretel is completely unhinged, in the best possible way. It is definitely not a traditional retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairytale. In an unlikely blend of film noir, vaudeville, Broadway, and the Golden Age of Hollywood films, Hansel & Gretel includes classical ballet, contemporary dance, and even jazz hands. Should it work? Not a chance. Does it work? A thousand times, yes!
