“I had privilege of seeing the Nutcracker with the Louisville Orchestra my first ever ballet this past December.”
From the reviews
This is an innovative and talented company and all the people giving one star either have some highly specific axe to grind or just don't know what to expect from a live classical performance. You always have the option of staying home and binging "Survivor".
The Louisville Ballet consistently blows us away with their exemplary performances. Always enjoyable. Always impeccable. Wish they could perform every time with an orchestra, but I guess venues have been an issue. Whomever does the sound does an amazing job.
THE BROWN-FORMAN NUTCRACKER was absolutely awesome both times. Grandkids loved it too!!!
Quality performances and the innovative showcases of new choreography is appreciated. The collaboration with the Louisville Orchestra is fantastic. You think there is any way possible to take the new composers of this year and choreography via the ballet the next?
Your first ballet class at Louisville 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.
