What families & students say
“Went for our first ballet experience to see The Nutcracker and it was outstanding!”
From the reviews
Phenomenal space. I attended an art show in the 4th floor gallery/event space, and then visited the open studios on the 3rd floor. Mind blowing beauty and design throughout the building. They have some really excellent programming.
Went for our first ballet experience to see The Nutcracker and it was outstanding! The space is large and meticulous. The employees are so courteous. The bar has amazing drinks and hot chocolate or apple cider for the kids. The ballet was everything I ever hoped for!!
A state of the art entertainment, arts and culture venue. Ready to serve the Council Bluffs/Omaha Metro area and SW Iowa with music, theater, dance, arts and culinary craft.
The Hoff Family Arts & Culture Center is a premier arts center located in the historic arts district of Council Bluffs. It encompasses visual arts, performing arts, and culinary arts...all in one location. They have beautiful space for banquets and amazing staff to assist with your events.
Your first ballet class at Hoff Family Arts & Culture 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.
