Last year's original hit is back!  Ballet de Seuss is a hugely entertaining collection of fun, funny, and impressive interpretations of some of Dr. Seuss' most important themes and characters.  This production has utterly irresistable 'smile appeal' for all who have the opportunity to experience it.

Audiences will delight in our colorful interpretations of "Daisy Head Maizy", "The Cat in the Hat", "The Sneetches" and "Gertrude McFuzz"! 

In addition, you will be treated to a diverse series of shorter ballets, one of which Ballet Yuma dancers will be performing at Regional Dance America Pacifica Festival in Long Beach, CA in May 2008.  Whatever your taste, we have something that you will enjoy!

Don't miss out on this original spring concert - it's sure to be a funtastical, Dr. Seusical time for your entire family!
