PLATTSBURGH — A workshop planned at the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts will help little dancers put a tutu on their hip, a tiara on their head and dance in their step. The workshop — dubbed “Tutus and Tiaras Dance” will take place from 1-2 p.m., March 8 at the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts at 23 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh. “It will be about helping to create a costume, helping create movement and then putting it all together,” said Artistic Director of the North Country Ballet Ensemble Alice Schonbek.

The workshop will be led by Schonbek, NCBE board member and costume curator Tracy Plimpton, and high school age dancers from the NCBE. During this one-hour program,
