Inspire Dance Santa Barbara presents

Once Upon a Time
A Holiday Storybook Ballet

Produced by Sean Crawford

December 16, 2023

IDSB presents their 9th Holiday showcase at Center Stage theater. Join our performing groups for a wonderful tale of Cinderella’s invitation to her Winter Ball to all her favorite characters from Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty. Her little mice helpers run into a few foiled invitations of some characters that weren’t really invited such as the Evil Stepsisters, Wicked Witch, Gaston, and the Cheshire Cat that just confuses everyone. These sweet characters are sure to keep you dancing in your seats, laughing and rooting for them to make the most anticipated Holiday event in all the fairytale kingdoms!
