The Immersive Experience

Immersives are popping up all over Los Angeles County. So you may be asking yourself, what makes the Little Women Ballet Immersive Experience different, and what does it entail? Below, we will be detailing our 3 different immersive experiences and why you should attend each and every one.

What to expect…

Unlike any other immersive in Los Angeles, we are the only immersive that offers a ballet performance within the experience. You see 15 minute vignettes of the Little Women story presented in ballet form.

What else makes our immersive unique is that you are up close and personal with the dancers.

Most ballet is presented on a proscenium stage, our ballet is set in the Historical Victorian houses of Heritage Square Museum, giving you the unique privilege of seeing the dancers not two feet from you.

You will feel as if you yourself are being encapsulated into the story.

1. We are the ONLY ballet immersive.

Two ballet dancers perform in a historic room with an audience watching. The room features ornate decor, large windows with red curtains, and vintage furniture. The audience consists of people milling around and seated, with some standing and observing the performance.

2. You are stepping back into Los Angeles’ rich history.

Little Women Ballet, The Immersive Experience takes place at Heritage Square Museum. Heritage Square Museum explores the settlement and development of Southern California during its first 100 years of statehood.

The eight historic structures located at the museum, constructed during the Victorian Era, were saved from demolition and serve as a perfect background to educate the public about the everyday lives of Southern Californians from the close of the 19th Century into the early decades of the 20th Century.

Each of the 15 minute ballet vignettes takes place in one of these historic house, and we are grateful to Heritage Square for sharing this beautiful space with us.

Although not in Concord, Massachusetts, Heritage Square offers Little Women Ballet an authentic era in which to showcase our ballet. Audience members will be able to experience not only our ballet but the rich history of these houses and the people who once lived in them.

3. We offer unique, performative experiences for our guests.

At Little Women Ballet, The Immersive Experience, you will let to participate in various unique activities, including acting out one of Louisa May Alcott or Jo March’s plays, as well as Victorian dancing with the cast.

“This is especially unique, because we are offering you a chance to see professional ballet dancers and then engage with them on a social dancing level,” says Emma Andres, the Artistic Director and Choreographer, “it is always a little scary at first to get up in front of others and act or dance, but by the end, our audience members find the experience enlightening, and just so much fun!”
