A Storybook Ballet Tickets

A Storybook Ballet is a family-focused ballet production presented by the Beth Fowler Dance Company (BFDC) and its sister organization, Beth Fowler School of Dance (BFSD). Since its debut in 2013, the company has carried forward a tradition of staging beloved storybook classics—Snow White, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty & the Beast—in a format that blends theatrical storytelling with classical technique. Led by founder Beth Fowler, a former Milwaukee Ballet dancer, BFSD and BFDC have built a national reputation for both performance and training, including a competitive program that has produced national champions.

Current productions largely take the stage at the Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb, IL, where audiences of all ages can enjoy accessible, engaging ballet that emphasizes narrative, character, and music. A Storybook Ballet offers rotating family programs while continuing to showcase these timeless tales on stage.
