St. Louis Public Library (Live at SLPL) with Ballet 314

Ballet 314 brings a short, child-sized version of its reimagined Nutcracker to the Julia Davis Library auditorium as part of the Live at SLPL series. The story is adapted from a St. Louis-inspired children's book, "The Nutcracker & The World's Fair," which moves the holiday tale to the city's 1904 World's Fair. Children listen to the story, get up and dance along, and meet characters from the book and ballet. The program runs about an hour on a Friday morning and is best for ages 2 to 7, which makes it a gentle first ballet for preschoolers. The library notes that music and sound feature heavily, with some bright colors and loud noises, and that the audience shares close space.
