Storytelling through dance!
We invite youth of all ages to join us!

SpectorDance is delighted to offer dancers of all ages the opportunity to perform in “The Lorax” a ballet inspired
by Dr. Seuss's beloved book by the same title written in 1970, long before "going green" was mainstream. “The Lorax” warns of the dangers of not caring for the environment. In this charming tale, we meet the Once-ler, who discovers a valley of Truffula Trees and Brown Bar-ba-loots "frisking about in their Bar-ba-loot suits as they
played in the shade and ate Truffula Fruits." We learn how the Once-ler and his family change the landscape.
We also meet the Lorax who teaches us to protect the forest for future generations.
