Leap into Lincoln is BACK! The Springfield Ballet Company's educational program, Leap into Lincoln, will be presented in collaboration with the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum (ALPLM) on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, with options of morning or early afternoon sessions. Leap into Lincoln gives students a unique way to connect with the people, events and dances from Lincon's era and make them real.
Leap into Lincoln is an opportunity for fourth and fifth grade students to experience, firsthand, the various styles of dance in Abraham Lincoln's lifetime. Students will watch the Springfield Ballet Company perform a variety of dance styles from 1809 to 1865, including segments of ballets from the Romantic era (Giselle, La Sylphide and Pas de Quatre), stately court dances, and American folk dances (reels, jigs, square dance and African slave dance).

Faerie Tale... Magic Awaits
Snow White, Cinderella and their Princes are traveling through the woods on a magical night. They find themselves amid a fairy preparation for the wedding of Titania and Oberon, King and Queen of the fairies. An errant donkey carrying gifts for the couple wanders into the woods to rest.
Between these unlikely groups flies Puck, armed only with a wicked sense of humor and a love potion capable of making anyone fall for the first person they set eyes upon.
What could possibly go wrong?
Faerie Tale is Springfield Ballet Company's enchanting ballet set to the music of Felix Mendelssohn and Pytor Tchaikovsky. April 14 and 15, 2018, at 2:00 pm, Sangamon Auditorium.
