As part of the “Ballets for the Family” series and in an effort to keep young audiences engaged in classical ballet, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida presents for the enjoyment of the entire family, its popular and fun ballet Dr. Ouch!
Dr. Ouch!is a story based on the poems of Kornei Chukovsky about a doctor that cures animals. The ballet, with music of I. Morozov and choreography by Vladimir Issaev, tells the fun adventures lived by Dr. Ouch, when he is called to help the monkeys in Africa who have become very ill.
