From the reviews
Easy to see right off of Atlantic Avenue servicing Raleigh and the adjoining areas of North Carolina. Plenty of parking and a wheelchair accessible entrance. Clean facilities. Public Restrooms. Teaching staff if Top Notch. Summer program is available. Performances and Fletcher Opera House was amazing.
Just saw the Frankenstein show, and I was blown away. I had chills at numerous points throughout the show. All the dancers were just so crisp and just so elegant. The monster was played to perfection. I was completely impressed by the whole production. Just amazing!!!
Their Halloween performance in 2021 was absolutely incredible and my mom and I got subscriptions to see the other performances as well for 2022. Romeo and Juliet was wonderful, we're so happy to support such a great company when there isn't a lot of access for this near us. Loads of talent!
Top tier ballet! The dancers are incredibly talented at their craft. The ballets are always such beautiful productions that make an ordinary night an extraordinary memory.
Your first ballet class at Carolina Ballet Inc
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
