The Leatherstocking Ballet presented La Boutique Fantasque on Nov. 19 at Watson Williams Elementary School.
A cast of 20 dancers rehearsed for 10 weeks, about 20 hours total, to bring the magical toy shop to life, complete with dolls that awaken and dance.
Students were reminded that several former Watson Williams students who began dancing at the school have gone on to professional careers, and that they should "shoot for the stars, too."
The Leatherstocking Ballet said it looks forward to future performance opportunities at Watson Williams.
