Belinda, the ballerina with big feet, is back for her third adventure, this time in a professional ballet production of “Cinderella”... Young cleverly combines elements of the traditional fairy tale with Belinda’s story, and Belinda triumphs over Lola’s meanness without ever lowering herself to that level, just as Cinderella did. Belinda’s fans will enjoy this addition to the series. Brava Belinda-encore!
