“The Bonnie and Clyde performance was beautiful and moving.”

From the reviews

I saw The Great Gatsby tonight and the only reason I'm giving it 5 stars is because there are not enough stars to give this fantastic show! What an all around performance. The dancers are magnificent, pure energy and talent that you can't help but connect with.

★★★★★ — Kevin, Oct 2023

"Wonderland" was such a moving, entertaining and important work about mental illness. The tenderness displayed about the topic brought tears to my eyes. This is one of my favorite dance companies!

★★★★★ — Jean, Oct 2022

Dracula was absolutely spectacular. I can’t wait to see the holiday show and the rest of the seasons productions.

★★★★★ — Gervaye, Nov 2025

Your first ballet class at Collide Theatrical Dance Company

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.
