For Ballet Manila’s CEO and artistic director; and Snow White choreographer,  Lisa Macuja Elizalde, the Holiday Cheer Series has brought nostalgic tales to life year after year, making ballet accessible entertainment for everyone and an experience that families can share.

 

“Holiday Cheer Series is our way of bringing people together through ballet,” shared Lisa. “These productions are not only about artistry, but about using ballet to tell stories that parents and children can enjoy together, year after year.”
