Saint Paul City Ballet

Welcome to the 2006-07
school year!

Born of shared vision and values, we are continuing to build Saint Paul City Ballet and its School. I invite you to join us as we make our dreams into our future.

This year marks the 57th anniversary of our historic Grand Avenue studio and our 5th year as Saint Paul City Ballet.

Saint Paul City Ballet serves the greater Minnesota community through performances, outreach, collaboration, and education. This year is also our 5th year in St. Cloud at Central Minnesota Music School.

In our effort to make dance accesible to all, we are continuing our outreach program in the North End neighborhood of St. Paul. Cultural STAR funds, private donors, and support from local businesses make this program possible.

Homeschoolers will also have an opportunity this year to take ballet classes during regular school day hours.

Join us as a dancer, a supporter, or a volunteer as we continue to imagine possibilities and delight audiences with our performances.

Thank you for your encouragement and support. Soli Deo Gloria.

If you danced as a child and would like to begin again, or wanted to dance and never had the chance, this program is for you. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings teachers are dedicated to instructing adults in the full Vaganova syllabus. Other adult classes incorporate Russian, Cecchetti and American styles. Most classes are accompanied by a pianist with a full barre and center work. This is exercise in its most elegant form...it feeds the soul as well as the body. Classes offered for ages 15 and older.
