From the reviews
Colorado West Ballet consistently delivers outstanding productions that reflect an incredible amount of work, care, and professionalism both on and off the stage.
Colorado West Ballet is a blossoming ballet company that the Western Slope is truly lucky to have. Their productions are thoughtfully created, accessible for all ages, and incredibly enjoyable whether you’re a longtime ballet lover or attending your first performance.
Our daughter has absolutely loved performing with Colorado West Ballet. Additionally, we were absolutely blown away at the performances and beautiful display of artistic dance in these performances. They are both incredibly moving and also inspiring.
We watched the Nutcracker twice this year with different friends. We also saw it last year. It was exciting to see the upgrades that were done to the stage and the improvements done with the performance. We saw Beauty and Beast earlier in the year, which was a lot of fun as well.
Your first ballet class at Colorado West 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.
