"The Snow Maiden"

Dance Institute of The University of Akron welcomes in the holiday season with the beautiful production of The Snow Maiden. This heart-warming fairy tale is about a child made of snow that comes to life through the deep love of her human parents. Set in a snowy Russian village, a cheery storyteller unveils this endearing tale of playful animals, magical fairies, an elegant and wise Snow Queen, and the charming little Snow Maiden. Colorful costumes, fanciful sets, and a cast of nearly 100 dancers bring this wonderful family oriented story of hope and joy to you this winter!
