The Ballet Joyeux -- the performing company for the Ballet School of Performing Arts best known for its productions of Petra and the Wolf and Cakewalk -- presents Once Upon a Christmas, an annual performance sure to lift the Christmas spirits of Bay Area dance enthusiasts and their families, which you can catch at the Lesher Center for the Arts. A story-driven ballet narrated by Santa and featuring his elves and their adventures in his toy workshop, the show gives you the opportunity to visit a fantastical world full of fun and spirit via the magic of ballet. The kid-friendly show has become a local staple, and it imparts a valuable lesson to remember during the holiday season: Dreams can and do come true, but only when you believe in yourself.
