The Cincinnati Ballet Otto M. Budig Professional Training Division opened the company's Hamilton residency with its performance of Heroes & Villains.
The Fitton Family Friday audience enjoyed beautifully danced versions of popular rivalry stories like The Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland, while also learning the vocabulary of body language thorough interactive lessons on ballet pantomime.
Several audience members even joined the dancers on stage to learn - and perform - some basic dance phrases that appeared in each segment of the show.
