"Through The Dark"
May 17 & 18, 2025
Brava Theater (San Francisco, CA)
An Original Dance and Theater Experience
by Virginie Personne & Marie Walburg
In a world stripped of color by a mad scientist, a group of children awakens to find themselves in a place where shadows reign and light is nowhere to be found. But within each of them lies a hidden strength — a spark that drives them to seek the colors that have been stolen.
Through moments of beauty, resilience, and self-discovery, they embark on a journey that is both an exploration of the soul and a fight to reclaim what has been lost. The power of will and human connection guides them as they navigate a world devoid of emotion, learning that even in the darkest times, light can still be found.
Through the Dark is a tale of hope, courage, and the unwavering belief that the human spirit can always rediscover its true colors.
"The Little Prince"
May 18 &19, 2024
Brava Theater (San Francisco, CA)
The stars are aligned, and the story of “The Little Prince” comes to life on stage! In this captivating adaptation by Virginie Personne and Marie Walburg, we follow the heartwarming journey of a young prince as he embarks on an interstellar adventure. From distant planets to our very own Earth, he explores themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. Through the synergy of dance, drama, and videography, our performers breathe life into Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved classic.

December 2020 | Recorded
This year has been so unusual that our staff wanted to organize a mid-year show to encourage and congratulate our dancers for their continued enthusiasm, perseverance, and ability to adapt during such a challenging time.
​
Our students created their own showcase — choosing the music and choreography — under the guidance of their teachers.
We sincerely thank them for their hard work and creativity!
May 2020 | Recorded
Our recital scheduled at the Brava Theater is cancelled due to COVID-19. We are devastated to realize that Petits Pas will not be able to host this special event…
​
But the Petits Pas community doesn’t take no for an answer!
​
With incredible enthusiasm, our staff and students worked hard to create a virtual show — and bring the magic to life in a new way!
"Music All !"

May 2019 | Brava Theater (San Francisco, CA)
Petits Pas welcomes many new dancers,
and the stage we’ve been using so far has become too small!
