A&A Ballet (A&A), under the artistic direction of Alexei Kremnev and Anna Reznik, announced a new Family Dance Series at the Athenaeum Theater, 2936 N. Southport Ave., premiering Saturday, May 14, at 3 p.m.

Fresh from a successful Chicago Youth American Grand Prix competition, the company will debut its take on the internationally acclaimed Carnival of the Animals and a world premiere of The Firebird, with the latter featuring brand-new choreography by Kremnev and sand-art animation by Anastasia Antropova.

Projected onto the stage throughout the performance, the sand art combines art, music and dance by drawing in the sand to create moving effects, enhancing the storytelling of the performers.
