Cinderella

Cinderella

Ballet Long Island presents Cinderella. The ballet begins with Cinderella on stage, holding a candle, dressed  in a worn  unbecoming brown dress. Her stepsisters are comical figures who enter to torment poor Cinderella. As the ballet continues, we are introduced to Cinderella's evil stepmother, a dance teacher, the Fairy Godmother and of course, the Prince. Cinderella is a delightful ballet for young and old. This is a timeless fairy tale for the entire family
