The year’s hard work at the Ballet School of the Finnish National Ballet culminates in May at the spring gala, which takes place in the fabulous surroundings of Dance House Helsinki.

The spring gala will be a mixture of classical ballet and contemporary dance, as Pessi and Illusia makes a comeback from last spring and the vocational education students will perform Reija Wäre’s choreography Frame.

Almost the entire Ballet School will be involved in the performance of Pessi and Illusia choreographed by Anandah Kononen. The ballet based on Yrjö Kokko’s fairy-tale is set to music by several Finnish composers.
