SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS
Dear boys and girls!
Welcome to the theater.
Today you're going to see a play about Snow White ...
You know... with those seven dwarfs!
But not only that... It's a dance performance.
That means that players don't talk, but portray everything that happens in the story through dance.
And the dance style that you are going to see today is called ‘classical’, and actually all other styles: Jazz, Hip Hop, Street come from that style.
And for all types of dance you have to train a lot to be real good...
Today you will see that for classical dance you have to be very agile, strong, and have lots of stamina and endurance: such difficult passes; such high jumps!
Just imagine that you can't talk on stage and that you have to make clear what the story is about just with movement! That’s ever so difficult!
And therefore... I am here!
I talk, because… I cannot dance!
All during the show I will tell you what you see and what is going to happen!
And what’s really cool: in a real show everything happens life.
So really: it's very exciting.
With lots of music, costumes and dancers...
Have fun!
See you in a minute...
