By far the most popular event of our first season, we are delighted to announce the second annual Ballet in the Park at Howard Davis Park. A unique chance to enjoy dance removed from the traditional theatre setting, Ballet in the Park offers an opportunity for new audiences to see our work, and allows existing fans to enjoy a performance in a beautiful natural setting. Presented in collaboration with Jersey Opera House.
Participate in engaging children’s activities throughout the weekend like face painting, hula hooping, and free open dance classes, plus you can enjoy a variety of tasty food truck offerings. There is even a bouncy castle! Bring a picnic and plan to settle in to watch the performances at the end of each day.
This is an outdoor event, so dress appropriately and be mindful of sun protection.
