In the Children’s & Youth Ballet Program at the Joffrey Ballet School, excitement is building as our dancers prepare for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the studio, our Baby Ballerinas are joyfully rehearsing their roles as apples, guided by faculty member Kelly Hayes kellyhayesmicozzi, while our Level 2 students step into character as munchkins under the direction of faculty member Irene Hogarth-Cimino ireneannaliese.⁠ ⁠ Each rehearsal is filled with imagination, focus, and growing confidence as these young dancers bring their roles to life. From playful storytelling to developing technique, they are learning how movement and performance come together on stage and discovering the magic of being part of a production.⁠ ⁠ 📅 Performance Date: May 17, 2026 at 12:00pm and 3:00pm⁠ 📍 Location: LaGuardia Performing Arts Center⁠ 🎟️ Click "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" link in bio for tickets!⁠ ⁠ 📸 laylamshoo⁠ ⁠ #joffreyballetschool #childrensballetprogram #youthballetprogram #ballet #newyorkci...
