“We’re thrilled to announce the first in our upcoming series of exciting, fun dance events,”  Chajnik said. “‘The Jungle Book’ is not your run-of-the-mill ballet. It’s an original dance-musical that’s an exotic fusion of east and west in terms of music, culture and dance.”

“The Jungle Book” is a wholly-immersive experience that incorporates lighting and modern projection technology with costumes and headpieces designed by world-famous artists, with an ensemble of live musicians, and a distinguished troupe of professional dancers.
