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.

President and School Director

In collaboration with Central Minnesota Music School, teachers provide a nurturing environment where each student can develop according to his/her potential. Terminology and basic steps are introduced and an appreciation of French as the language of dance is developed. The culmination of the school year is the Spring Gala. It is a showing of all classes and levels in the school. This year’s celebration of students’ progress will be held in May 2007. To perform in the Spring Gala you must take classes January through May 2007. A $75 performance fee will be assessed to all students participating in the Spring Gala.
