In this imaginative and fanciful dance performance ISH Dance Collective work together with the Junior Company of the National Ballet. The result? An exciting cross-over between Hiphop and Ballet that complement each other in a spectacular way!

GRIMM is the story of two young boys who land in a world of fantasy where they meet Red Riding Hood and the wolf, the seven dwarfs, Rapunzel, Snow White, the Witch, Cinderella, and other storybook characters. They become embroiled in exciting adventures in which all the well-known fairy tales tumble over one another in a hilarious parade of fairytale characters.

As in all good fairytales, love and jealousy, friendship and power struggles, intrigue, and the battle between good and evil play major roles.
