Louisville Ballet

We were so blessed to be able to catch the sold out choreographer's showcase here! I am a huge fan of The Nutcracker but I've been wanting to expand my horizons and add more beauty into my life. I signed up for the Louisville Ballet newsletter, and when I saw the choreographer's showcase coming up I thought this would be an awesome event where the choreographers and dancers wouldn't be limited to predetermined elements in their performances. The event exceeded my expectations!Everything, from the dancers, to the music, to the lighting, to the costumes, was so thoughtful. We really loved seeing what these artists could do when unbound. I hope to attend many more performances and continue to support the arts, really what makes life worth it. Highly recommend!

I have finally been blessed to see the graceful Louisville Ballet during the holidays to see The Nutcracker, and it was just as beautiful and entertaining as I imagined it would be. As dumb as this may sound, I didn't even know The Nutcracker was put on by the Louisville Ballet..I always assumed that it was a touring production, however it made me appreciate it even more to find out that the school performs it every year..and they do a Broadway-worthy performance! The show includes ballet dancers of all ages, from younger children to older professionals. It's pretty amazing all of the work, behind the scenes and onstage that go into their shows. They have a season of about 5 or 6 shows each year, and I already can't wait to see another one!

Simply the best performing arts group in Louisville! Ballet is an acquired taste for some but the Louisville ballet does a wonderful job by showing everything from traditional to contemporary.Aside from their wonderful productions such as Nutcracker and others. Every year they have a Choreographer's Showcase, where the dancers of the company create new and exciting variations and brand new dances. The tickets are only $20 and you get to watch this at their downtown studio in their studio they practice in everyday. It's an upclose and personal experience that is quite amazing. You see the sweat beading off the dancers brow and a close look at the amazing costumes. Coming from a ballet dancer, this is the best way to view ballet. Being able to see and hear the pointe shoes hit the floor is ideal. I do suggest everyone to see this plus all their other productions throughout their season.

I went on a group tour and I have nothing but praise for this place. I went with a group of kids for work and the staff was wonderful with them. They were patient and thoughtful. The facility was clean and comfortable. All the walls were covered in art from a local gallery which was super cool. We had a chance to sit in on a class and the dancers were great. The kids had a great time and I did as well. It looks like a great place to send your kids if you are looking for a place to take classes.
