CINDERELLA

Turning parking lots into magic kingdoms

This production is a 21st Century re- telling of the classic story that blended classical ballet with contemporary movement. This story and stunning visuals sparked curiosity from audience members, creating rich and meaningful dialogue.

Four performances were presented in an outdoor family-friendly pop-up theatre performance. The first performance was free and presented in Ybor Square, in Ybor City. The next three performances were ticketed and presented in New Tampa to sold-out audiences (limited in size due to Covid).

Cinderella is a full-length production were diverse across age, race, gender, and level. Tampa City Ballet company dancers danced alongside students from TCBs "On Your Feet" scholarship program, and pre-professionals from America's Ballet School. Daniel Sarabia former dancer from the National Ballet of Cuba and Boston Ballet was TCB’s special guest artist.

Cinderella is one of Tampa City Ballet's unique Community Engagement performances engaging the local community by providing high-quality arts programming.
