A scene from Rise City Dance's Cinderella

last spring

Cinderella and Other Tales

Our original production of Cinderella brought a fairytale to life with a cast of more than 110 performers and professional dancers. From butterflies and ladybugs to familiar storybook characters and delightfully dramatic stepsisters, each scene unfolded through thoughtful choreography, beautiful costumes, and expressive storytelling.
