"We will be bringing up close and personal rehearsals to anyone from the general public who wants to walk into the hangar and see the amazing athleticism of our dancers. They get to see the creative process happening right before the eyes," Roberts said. "So many people will buy tickets to see the final product but they don't really get the opportunity to see the creative process happening."
