This inspiring and motivational ballet, contemporary & variety performance is sure to surprise, delight and empower people of all ages to re-invent their lives & careers, overcome adversity and pursue their dreams and passions even after 50.

The goal of this production is about inspiring people 50 and over to stay young, to take charge of their health and keep pursuing their dreams and their aspirations even after 50 years old, it’s not over. 50 is the new 30!
