Ballet Productions

Pas de Deux Dance Studio's ballet productions give our dancers the chance to experience participating in a full scale show.  Dancers of all ages and ability levels work together to produce a spectacular experience for ballet fans and first timers.

Our Productions

We rotate between 4 different full length productions.  This allows dancers to have a variety of experiences with each ballet's unique characteristics.  It also allows dancers time to grow in ability, artistry and acting between repetitions of the same production, giving them the chance to aspire to different roles each time they participate.

The Nutcracker Ballet

Pas de Deux Dance Studio's "The Nutcracker Ballet" keeps the traditional elements of the ballet (Victorian time-period, Waltz of the Snowflakes, and entertainment for Clara and the Prince in the second act) while adding some twists to keep the story fresh.

The Enchanted Forest

This original story ballet follows Moira, a young village girl in Ireland, as she sneaks into the Forest, encountering
fairies and an evil sorcerer along the way.  "The Enchanted Forest" incorporates both ballet and traditional Irish dancing, resulting in a unique experience
for audience members.

Backstage Nutcracker

"Backstage Nutcracker" provides audiences with a behind the scenes look at the world of ballet, following a group of dancers as they audition and prepare for their studio's production of the Nutcracker.  When jealousy ensues over the role of Clara, the entire production is put in jeopardy.  

A Sleeping Beauty

Pas de Deux provides an updated twist on the classic fairy tale in "A Sleeping Beauty".  An evil fairy curses the baby Aurora to prick her finger on a spindle and die.  The Lilac Fairy, unable to remove the curse, changes it so that Aurora falls into a deep sleep instead.  Will Aurora's older sister, Aylin, be able to save her?

Audition!

Auditions are open to current Pas de Deux Dance Studio members, as well as ballet dancers from the Twin Cities community.  All dancers are required to go through the same audition process, and no dancers receive any payment for being in the production.

There are also non-ballet and non-dancing parts available for teens and adults.
