From the reviews
This is a beautiful facility! Our daughter and I had our ballet performance at this performing arts center. Everything from the backstage areas (including ample space and dressing areas) to the stage, sound, lighting, and audience seating was wonderful.
Wonderful Arts Center. My performed her first dance recital here. The seats were comfortable and the stage was large and perfect for these types of recitals. However, the parking was sparse for such as large building that could hold a lot of people.
Really enjoyed attending my granddaughter's play here ( the building is really nice), Cinderella!, the cast did a phenomenal job in their performances💯. The staff was extremely helpful....kudos to everyone who was a part of this production 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The performances today were awesome. Thank you for providing a place were our children can perform in a safe environment. The seating allows you to see everything going on up on stage rather in the front or wayed in the back. That is awesome!
Your first ballet class at Hancock Performing Arts Center
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.
