From the reviews

Best Quality Ballet Productions between Boston and Montreal! Wonderful costumes, sets, and the dancing is splended! Ticket prices are well worth the experience. If you are a ballet lover in the Upper Valley (or beyond) don't miss their next production! You won't be disappointed!

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Oct 2014

Stunning choreography danced by incredibly talented local dancers. Who knew this level and quality of dance was here in the Upper Valley?! I was not expecting this level of magic when I bought my tickets to Cinderella this year but WOW, I was blown away. Thank you to the folks to put this together.

How amazingly fortunate the upper valley is to have such a wonderful ballet company in our community. They provide us with high quality productions so close to home. Most recently, I had the pleasure of watching the city center ballet’s production of Cinderella, which was a fantastic mix of beauty, skill and humor.

Your first ballet class at City Center Ballet

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
