Spring is literally just around the corner. Although for some of us, there is still snow on the ground. For others, flowers are just about blooming, but I’m sure you are all feeling that Spring in your dance step!
Of course, in the dance world we think of Igor Stravinsky’s astonishing ballet, The Rite of Spring, a ballet and orchestral work, written in 1913. The music and choreography were so avant-garde it caused a sensation and a near riot in the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées’ audience!
The Rite of Spring has been reimagined numerous times:

Looking for Spring-like color inspiration for your ballet costumes?
These dancers from the Shanghai Ballet, The Butterfly Lovers – Feast of Colors, were dressed to represent Spring’s lively birds and flowers. The crystals sparkled beautifully when the tutus and arm pieces quivered gently with the elegant movements of the dancers.
