And the outdoor fun just keeps coming. 

Live at the Plaza returns this week for its second year of free performances and educational classes by Ballet Arkansas. In partnership with the North Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau, the events will take place at the Argenta Plaza on Main Street during the first two weekends in May. The outdoor series will certainly put a spring in your step with its celebrations of classical and contemporary dance.

The showcase is a great way to enjoy some fresh air while supporting local artists and your community. In addition to excerpts from the organization’s 2021/2022 season repertory, the series offers various dance classes for children and adults of all ages and abilities taught by the professionals at Ballet Arkansas.
