DANCE IS THE TIMELESS INTERPRETATION OF LIFE

The Columbus Ballet provides a distinctive dance experience to the community through the development of a diverse experience for dancers of all ages and a season program that promotes art, education, and culture. One goal of the organization is to serve as a powerful partner within our community where the performing arts are valued and promoted as an indispensable resource. 

Advocacy for the artistic achievement of classical dance is an important focus for The Columbus Ballet. This belief is propagated through the joy, spirit, and celebration of dance instruction and performance. Over the past 15 years, The Columbus Ballet has performed several full-length classics including the popular, annual Christmas classic, Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. The Nutcracker production is perfect for families to celebrate the holiday season!

The Columbus Ballet also partners with Columbus State University to provide classical ballet instruction through the Youth Dance Conservatory (YDC). The Conservatory offers the region's finest classical training, with students annually participating in the Youth America Grand Prix competition and at intensives with some of the finest ballet companies in the nation. The Columbus Ballet also works with local schools and youth organizations to introduce the art of classical ballet in hopes of inspiring a lifelong love for this timeless form of dance.
