Princeton Youth Ballet's Bunny Hop Fundraiser Set for March 28

Dancers at the Princeton Youth Ballet will give a sneak peek at their upcoming production as they celebrate the arrival of spring with a Bunny Hop fundraiser.

The fundraiser takes place Saturday, March 28, from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. at Princeton Dance and Theater Studio.

“We are excited to open our doors to the community for this fun family event,” Princeton Youth Ballet Board President and local pediatrician Kathy Azaro said.

Dancers will give a free preview of The Secret Garden, an original ballet choreographed by Artistic Director Risa Kaplowitz. The ballet is based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is a classic tale of neglect, nurture, renewal and love.

The fundraiser begins with a free egg hunt, and conclude with a free dance party. Other activities will include face painting and spring-themed crafts. Food and desserts will also be available.

Admission is free. Food will cost between $1 and $3. All proceeds will benefit Princeton Youth Ballet, a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organization in New Jersey.

Princeton Youth Ballet’s mission is to give talented young dancers the opportunity to perform principal roles in professional-quality productions, and to encourage the community to fall in love with classical ballet through inspired storytelling, spectacular productions, and uncompromising artistry.

The studio is located at Forrestal Village, 116 Rockingham Row in Princeton.

Dancers will perform The Secret Garden May 9 and 10 at Princeton High School Performing Arts Center, 4 p.m.
