A cast of elite, pre-professional dancers has been working tirelessly to master a unique “tandem flight” technique for the “Peter Pan” ballet.
Get ready to believe in magic this May! The Hot Springs Children’s Dance Theatre Co. is soaring to breathtaking new heights with their upcoming production of Peter Pan, featuring a groundbreaking, never-before-seen flight sequence that will leave audiences spellbound.
For the first time in the company’s history, this spring production introduces a revolutionary fusion of dance and puppetry. Over the past three months, a cast of elite, pre-professional dancers has been working tirelessly to master a unique “tandem flight” technique. Using stunning, artisan-crafted bird puppets designed by costume artist Hannah Mills, these dancers extend their own grace into the air.
As Peter, Wendy, John, and Michael embark on their legendary voyage to Neverland, they will be surrounded by a swirling kaleidoscope of birds in flight. By utilizing exquisite pointe work and specialized hand extensions, the dancers create a weightless, ethereal effect that transforms the stage into a vast, open sky.
The energy in the rehearsal studio has been nothing short of electric. These young artists have poured their hearts into the creative process, using their bodies to breathe life into their avian counterparts. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and they are buzzing with anticipation to share this immersive, high-flying spectacle with the community.
