2026 WINTER PRODUCTION

---

Arts Ballet Conservatory is proud to present two captivating works in this year’s production, The Underwater Kingdom and Waives Within.

Sunday, December 13th, 2026, at 1pm at  Pfeiffer Hall in Naperville. 

Act I — The Underwater Kingdom

Choreographed by Jelena Mitchell

The Underwater Kingdom takes us beneath the waves and into a magical world filled with beauty, mystery, and enchantment. Deep beneath the ocean, the Queen of Waters presides over an enchanting underwater court, surrounded by shimmering pearls, delicate corals, graceful jellyfish, flowing algae, starfish, seahorses, and the timeless beauty of the sea. Dressed in beautifully inspired aquatic ballet costumes, our dancers bring this mesmerizing water kingdom to life through captivating movement, music, and the imagination of ballet.

Act II — Waves Within

Choreographed by Katrina Hidalgo

Inspired by the ever-changing nature of the ocean, Waves Within is a contemporary work exploring the many waves of life. Through movement, the piece travels between moments of calm, playfulness, intensity, and chaos. Like the ocean, life is constantly shifting and moving. Each wave brings something new, inviting us to embrace the journey and find our way through both the calm and the storm. We are delighted to share these two beautiful works, performed by the talented students of Arts Ballet Conservatory. We invite you to join us for an enchanting journey beneath the waves and experience the beauty, imagination, and artistry of our dancers.

We hope to see you there.
