A contemporary twist on a holiday classic.
Clara attends a holiday party hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Flowers. At the party, she meets Beau and they dance the night away. Only one problem. Clara is a passionate dancer but not the most coordinated. She trips, falls and is whisked off to the hospital to learn that her ankle is broken. That night her friends and get-well gifts swirl in her dreams. Come one, come all to the perfect holiday treat for your friends and family!

Educational Shows
Students can see a professional dance concert at a discounted price. Educational Shows are at the Booth Playhouse in the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in Uptown Charlotte. Teachers will receive a Teacher Guide for the performance and students participate in a Question and Answer session immediately following the performance with the dancers.
Stories in Motion
Stories in Motion will support creative thinking and collaboration. Students will create short narratives inspired of their writing samples and also write a story based off movement.
Building Community Through Circus Arts
This residency will show how circus arts can promote community and collaborative problem solving. We can use aerial silks, trapeze or partner acrobatics to unite students. By the end of every class, students are celebrating each other’s successes and have either created bridges or strengthen their connections to each other.
Fees for each residency depends on the number of classes and hours with each class. Please email us at education@carolinecalouche.org with details on your residency or workshop.
