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 55th anniversary of our historic Grand Avenue studio and our 4th year as Saint Paul City Ballet. This year is also our 4th year in St. Cloud at Central Minnesota Music School.

In our effort to make art accesible to all, we are beginning an outreach program to the North End neighborhood of St. Paul. Cultural STAR funds, private donors, and support from local businesses will fully subsidize this program.

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.
