Some stories are best told through music. Others are best told through dance. Carnival of the Animals reminds us that when the two come together, something extraordinary happens.

Ridgefield Conservatory of Dance is proud to collaborate with the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra at the Ridgefield Playhouse, bringing this beloved classic to life through the talents of our dancers and musicians.

We caught up with our turtles šŸ¢ and Artistic Director, Miss Amy Amy Piantaggini , for some behind-the-scenes thoughts after an incredible performance of Carnival of the Animals!

From rehearsals to the stage, this production has been filled with creativity, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Hear what our performers had to say and get a glimpse into the magic that happens behind the curtain.

Who knew turtles made such great interviewers? šŸŽ¤āœØ

Backstage we asked if Miss Fusco was a character in the carnival of the animals who would she be? I hope you like the kids response.
