In Full Bloom! is a radiant celebration of the artistry, resilience, and passion of St. Paul Ballet’s student dancers—an uplifting experience we all need right now. This annual showcase blends beloved classical works with vibrant new choreography created especially for these dancers, offering a dynamic and emotional journey for performers and audiences alike.

This year’s program features new original work from Helen Hatch and guided improvisation directed by Blake Nellis, alongside choreography by Alejandra Iannone, Aloe Lui, Dexter Carlson, Christina Onusko, and Anna Pinault. Guest performers from CAAM Chinese Dance Theater and Hatch Dance enrich the program. Modern works will be accompanied live by SPB musicians Joe Strachan, Amelie Banks, and Ian Witry, blending movement and music seamlessly.

Highlights include Kinetic Canvas, where our youngest dancers bring paintings to life through movement, and Le Jardin Animé (Animated Garden), the dream sequence from Le Corsaire, where nature blossoms into wonder and enchantment.

From the first graceful steps of beginning students to the confident presence of advanced pre-professional dancers, In Full Bloom! showcases the extraordinary talent blossoming within the School of St. Paul Ballet.

Audiences are invited to experience the powerful emotions and joyous spirit of live performance, feeling every note and movement alongside the dancers. More than a showcase, In Full Bloom! is a hopeful, heart-lifting reminder of the creativity and light young artists bring to the world—and a celebration of you, the community that lifts and inspires them.
