This September, our Pre-Primary, Primary, Grade 1 Ballet and Jazz students, along with the National Youth Ballet, embark on a journey where creativity and dreams co-exist with ubiquitous innovation. At the heart of this story is Madame Mystique, the inventive creator who reveals what children can become in the future through her marvellous machine. Our intent is to celebrate the power of imagination while embracing technology as a friend, not an adversary.
Cast Allocations
This year, we will have two performances with separate casts: one on 20 September and the other on 21 September at Dr. Ambedkar Bhawan, Vasant Nagar. These cast allocations have been made purely to distribute classes evenly between the two performance dates and are not based on technique or other assessments.
Show dates:
Cast I: 20 September
Cast II: 21 September
Venue:
Dr. B R Ambedkar Bhavan, Vasanth Nagar
*The dates/venue may be subject to change in case of any exigencies.

Rehearsals
In addition to the classes, students will be asked to attend three additional rehearsals at Shoonya, Lal Bagh Road. Each rehearsal will have different content. Hence, attendance is mandatory for all additional rehearsals. Students who miss rehearsals will not be able to contribute to the show with the same precision and preparation as those who attend the rehearsals. Therefore, they will not be permitted to participate.
Following are the rehearsal dates for both the casts:
1. 3 August (Sunday): Act I
2. 17 August (Sunday): Act II
3. 31 August (Sunday): Act I & II
4. 14 September (Sunday): Act I & II
Please note that in our initial communication regarding the rehearsal dates, the last rehearsal was scheduled for 7 September. However, the date has been revised to 14 September since then.
