All performances feature the professional dancers of the Columbia City Ballet and our award-winning performance standards – at only $6 per seat*
Our educational outreach program has:
- 18,000 attendees each season
- National attention
- Various awards for creative commitment
- 27 years of educating children across the Southeast
Columbia City Ballet Artistic Director William Starrett had the vision to develop curriculum-driven educational ballet performance experiences that would be accompanied by a teacher’s guide, choosing stories and topics that help our young people with today’s concerns and developmental needs.
However, these are not dress rehearsals that we open to the public; our productions are specially made each season to:
- Provide a deep understanding of the art form of ballet
- Enhance the lives of every patron in attendance
- Educate the community at the highest level each season
- Obtain a greater knowledge and appreciation of ballet
- Leave you yearning to learn more about the performing arts in Columbia!
Performances last approximately an hour and include a Q&A. Performances are narrated so each student has a clear understanding of the story and can fully appreciate the professional ballet of the Columbia City Ballet.
*Reservations for fewer than 10 people must be purchased at the door day of the event*
