Special to Independent Newsmedia
A performing arts studio celebrating its 40th anniversary in Phoenix this year will host a holiday ballet.
Bender Performing Arts will perform “Happy Holidays, With Love” three times over two days, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 14-15, at Madison Center for the Arts, 5601 N. 16th St., in Phoenix.
“Like most families, The Tinsel family appears, in their holiday portrait, to live a happy and flawless life. However, parents Ellis and Emily, along with their three daughters, Kristen, Erica, and Clara, are far from perfection,” the studio’s show synopsis explains. “Upon taking a closer look, each reveals an obstacle he or she must overcome to become the loving family they appear to be from the outside looking in. By taking a magical trip through five classic holiday stories, each member of the family learns an important lesson that helps them to overcome their personal struggles and rediscover the happiness and love they thought they had lost forever.”
Shows start at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, with a matinee finale at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15.
Bender Performing Arts specializes in dance of all types including preschool classes, ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary and hip-hop classes as well as musical theater, tumbling, silks, pom and cheer classes.
