Set to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s timeless score, the ballet will feature the school’s talented young dancers, ages 3 to 18, performing alongside guest artist Caelan Gagnon—a Paris Ballet alumnus currently training with the American Ballet Theatre’s Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School in New York City.

“I am proud of all my students for their dedication, and I look forward to welcoming Caelan back to our stage as the Sugar Plum Cavalier,” says Jean Hugues Feray, founder and director of Paris Ballet.
