Please note that we are NOT selling any individual costumes!
We will, however, be holding an online auction for Misty Copeland's Act 1 and Act 2 Cinderella costume. The link to the auction will soon be announced!

Otherwise, we are selling our production, with over 200 costumes for kids and adults, as a complete package with the sets, backdrops, props, production and original choreography rights. Our choreographers are even willing to come personally help stage the production. Cinderella has given the opportunity to many teachers to grow their schools, students to enjoy valuable stage time, and communities to connect for future collaborations.

If this is something that interests you, please let us know!

OWDF's Cinderella has had the honor of being danced by the world's biggest ballet stars, including Misty Copeland, Isabella Boylston, Aran Bell, Devon Teuscher, and over 500 youth and children from all over the world.

To our dear members of our Cinderella Family,


There are no words in any language I can find to describe my feelings after Friday night’s performance!

To say that I’m grateful to every person on stage, backstage and in the audience is an understatement. I’m ecstatic and excited about the present and the future--you gave me joy, and you gave Cinderella new life!

With the true TEAM that we have now, everything is possible! I commemorate your enthusiasm, devotion and professionalism, and can’t wait to work with you all again!

Looking forward to to seeing you for future opportunities that we are planning for you as we speak!
Stay tuned! ;)

With much love and gratitude,
Ekaterina Shchelkanova
OWDF Founder
Cinderella Producer and Choreographer

P.S. THANK YOU to everyone who has shared their OWDF Cinderella experience with friends and family and on social media! We love seeing the production from your perspective and are so touched by your heartfelt words! Please continue to share, as it helps our mission reach the rest of the world!
