Tales of Beatrix Potter Ballet

Beloved Beatrix Potter characters leap off the page in Cincinnati Kinderballet’s Spring 2010 Ballet!

Little Known Facts

I think I have such wonderful memories of Eagle Bay because my Mother worked so hard. Every hour in Cincinnati was spent with ballet, music, costumes, other people. Here in the woods suddenly time was for us, too. We went to the beach, we spent time playing games, we sat around the campfire. Life took on a different pace, and it meant something else. We appreciated each other more, because we understood each other better.

Another Camp Story

It was interesting how your mind becomes creative without the noise of a TV or radio playing, and quiet time each day, so that you can draw or write down what you are learning, instead of being distracted before anything sinks into your mind. In all the years we have been in that area I don’t believe we have run out of ideas and always come home thinking, “Next year we really should do that….”

The Cemetary Story

My Mother loved Eagle Bay so much, she wanted to be buried there. In preparation for her own demise, she felt we would not do her justice. She wanted a grand stone. She had one designed, with a ballerina in fifth position on pointe, her name engraved, trees in the back- it was beautiful.

Talent Shows

At the end of each camp session AvO would announce the talent show. Students made up skits, from the profound to the ridiculous. Students dressed in red, green and yellow tutus sang the jello song, wiggled, and shouted, “It’s alive!” For several years students performed that ditty. Mary and Beverly tap danced and were dressed as salt and pepper one year. There was always a ballet class with someone impersonating AvO, pounding a stick, demanding perfection with a clutz in the class.
