Many of us know the Disney classic of Sleeping Beauty well. The damsel in distress is cursed, pricks her finger, then falls into a deep sleep until she is woken by Prince Charming’s kiss.
This version of the story is a ballet backed by Tchaikovsky’s entrancing symphonies and choreographed by Dr. Chiara Ajkun, one of the most notable ballet professionals. Ajkun Ballet Presents: Sleeping Beauty will be at Rudolf Nureyev Studio at 130 West 56th Street in Manhattan on the 6th floor.
Re-live this childhood classic in a new way!
