About Crystal Petzel
With over 15 years of professional teaching experience, many of my students have gone on to dance with prestigious companies and universities, including finalists in “So You Think You Can Dance”, San Francisco Ballet, and Boston Conservatory. Through a lifetime of dancing and teaching, and being experienced in teaching all levels of ballet from beginners to practicing professionals, puts me above all local ballet schools. Teaching with the needs of each individual student in mind, I believe all students deserve the benefits of professional ballet training. My classes are based on the highest standards of classical ballet instruction taking a disciplined approach to teaching. Within the rigorous classes, students thrive and learn to value the accomplishments that come with hard work. Through my love of dance and passion for teaching children I am dedicated to helping each individual student reach their goals and become the very best they can be.

Thumbelina May 15th, 2:00 pm & 7:00 pm May 16th, 1:00 pm & 6:00 pm - 1 W. Campbell Ave Building N-76, Campbell, CA, 05/15 @ 1:00 PM - $7.00 - thumbelina.eventbrite.com/ The Academy of Classical Ballet – CALIFORNIA is proud to present:
"Thumbelina" - a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about a thumb-sized girl and the many adventures that she encounters before finding her way back home to the flowers from where she was born.
A tiny girl named Thumbelina emerges from a beautiful bouquet of flowers amongst the butterflies. The generous and caring Woodland fairy makes it her responsibility to watch over the vulnerable Thumbelina. One evening, while dancing in the glade with her winged friends, she is carried off by a chorus of frogs who want the miniature maiden as their playmate. The mischievous frogs tease poor Thumbelina and leave her on a lily pad in the middle of the stream – keeping her captive. With the help of friendly fish, Thumbelina escapes and drifts along until coming across a cluster of ladybugs. As the seasons change, Thumbelina finds that she is far from home and does her best to protect herself from the elements, but when winter comes, she is in desperate straits. The vulnerable and lost Thumbelina is given shelter by an old mole who takes advantage of her situation - wanting her as his wife. She finds this prospect deeply upsetting, worsened by being far from home and in an awful situation. Thumbelina somehow finds the will to escape, fleeing to a far off land with an indebted swallow, whom she selflessly nursed back to health during the harsh winter. In a sunny field of flowers, Thumbelina is reunited with the butterflies and receives a pair of wings from the gracious Woodland Fairy to accompany her on their travels from flower to flower, happy and finally free.
Thumbelina is a timeless classic that we at The Academy of Classical Ballet – CALIFORNIA are truly proud to present. We welcome you to our debut performance and hope that you will share this special experience with us and our talented, hard-working, and amazing dancers. Your encouragement and support serves as tangible gift that we at The Academy couldn't be more thankful for. We hope to see you at our show.

May 15th, 2:00 pm & 7:00 pm
May 16th, 1:00 pm & 6:00 pm
