Springfield Ballet Executive Director Ashley Walden, and Springfield Ballet School Principal Maria Hall. “We are really excited to be able to provide this production,” said Walton. “We did it back in 2014, and are just honored to be able to bring it back this year. Opening the performance will be a new piece choreographed by Maria Hall. “I actually grew up dancing at Springfield Ballet,” she said. And then I went to college to get a degree, danced a little bit professionally, and then came back. And now it's full circle being School Principal at the Ballet. It's really special.” This “Cinderella” production, with original choreography by Springfield Ballet staff, was Hall’s final show with the company before she left for college in 2014. “To be able to come back and reteach the choreography, give it some new, different moves and artistic qualities, and also choreograph a contemporary ballet piece for some of the dancers, was really special for me, using new music, new style of dancing for these kids to get to learn.”
