This spring, Dance Del Bello invites you into a timeless fairytale full of otherworldly grandeur as we present David Kloss’s Beauty and the Beast with Act III “Lamentations” scene by Delphine Del Bello Spencer.
Originally created in 1996 on Dance Del Bello, 2026 marks the 30th Anniversary of this breathtaking work. We hope that this is a celebratory spring that challenges our dancers and one that honors the artistry of our alumni.
This dramatic, powerful and elevated full-length production of Beauty and the Beast draws from the original 18th-century tale, bringing to the stage a story both evocative in emotion and intricate in its choreography.
From the father’s fateful search for a single perfect rose to Beauty’s courageous journey into an enchanted castle, every scene is picturesque and sweeping with movement.
The Beast’s enchanted world pulses with magic and melancholy, inviting dancers and audiences into a realm where appearances deceive and compassion rewrites fate.
With striking choreography, and storytelling that pierces the heart, Beauty and the Beast promises a ballet experience that transforms.

A fairy tale perfect for all ages!
With a charming beginning, we meet Beauty lonely in her own world with her Father, Sisters and a smashingly wealthy Suitor. But then the ballet gives way to something more extraordinary. Our tale journeys forward into a magical snowy forest where enchanted birds take flight amongst a spellbound Rose, her petals shimmering with hidden magic. Beyond the forest lies a mysterious, long-forgotten castle, steeped in secrets and waiting for Beauty’s courage to awaken it. As enchantments swirl and transformations unfold, You, our audience will be invited into a world where wonder blossoms, dreams beg you to see beyond appearances and love breaks even the deepest curse.
