MSDE Performances
Each year, The Madison Studio offers a variety of performance opportunities for its students and Ensemble dancers. These include beautifully-staged public productions of classic ballets such as Giselle, Coppelia, Don Quixote, and Sleeping Beauty, and in 2010, selections from “Swan Lake” with Guest Artists Faith Madison from Colorado Ballet in Denver, and Giselle diBlasi Pugh and Julius Lagare from Atlanta Festival Ballet. We also have for-parents-only showcases held at the studio, seasonal samplings, and on-site performances at area festivals, special events, senior centers and other locations.
