Storybook Ballet Celebrates 10 Years At Hilldale

Storybook Ballet, a ballet studio dedicated to instilling a love for ballet in children ages 3 through 9, is celebrating 10 years at the Hilldale Shopping Center this year.

Founded by Meredith Mast in 2000, Storybook Ballet’s popular and unique approach to teaching ballet proved so successful, she needed to find dedicated space for the studio two years later.

"We’ve been so lucky to have such wonderful families participate at Storybook Ballet," Mast said in a news release. "Through the past 10 years, we've seen our littlest dancers mature into graceful teenagers, and I feel blessed to have been a part of their lives. We are planning for another wonderful 10 years at Hilldale Shopping Center, and hoping to host a second generation of Storybook Ballet dancers."
