Snow White ballet at Queen Creek Performing Arts Center

Snow White (the ballet), as performed by the Arizona Youth Ballet, is a classical dance adaptation of the beloved fairy tale, brought to life by young dancers through expressive choreography and vibrant staging.

The ballet follows Snow White whose beauty sparks jealousy in the Evil Queen. After the Queen orders her death, Snow White escapes into the forest and finds refuge with a group of dwarfs — often portrayed with playful, character-driven dances that highlight the youthful energy of the cast.

The Queen later disguises herself and tricks Snow White into eating a poisoned apple, sending her into a deep sleep. A prince ultimately awakens her, leading to a joyful and uplifting finale.

Snow White atarts at 7 p.m., May 23 at the  Queen Creek Performing Arts Center, 2149 E. Ocotillo Road.
