Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona (Free Arts) and Dance Theatre West are partnering to bring Storybook Ballet 2022: Alice in Wonderland to the community on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. Foster care children will be performing with Dance Theatre West. This free dance performance is lighthearted, fun and perfect for the entire family.

“The foster care group home children study for three weeks with Dance Theatre West to learn creative movement, choreography, teamwork and confidence in order to join the company on stage,” said Alicia Sutton Campbell, executive director of Free Arts. “It’s such a neat opportunity for these children to work together and learn new skills. When they take the stage, you can see their faces light up!”

The event will be held at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, located at 7380 East 2nd Street, Scottsdale, AZ. The exhibit gallery will open at 2:30 p.m., the dance performance at 3 p.m. and a community art activity will take place at 4 p.m. This program is possible through generous support from Scottsdale Arts, The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation, Valley of the Sun United Way, Suzie Silverman, and Dance Theater West.

The performance is free to attend, to reserve your spot, please RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/alice-in-wonderland-storybook-ballet-2022-tickets-420624608527.
