Loved attending tithe ballet with my fiancé - many times throughout the years and even had the pleasure of working for a board member and to see the first ballet presentation just after Covid … it was truly fine art brought to life again will miss the sounds of the sages in the air, the tiniest of toes touch ballet shoes to stage and the great costumes in Dracula or Hyde … I hated the wizard of it is and don’t need to see another nutcracker as was our Christmas tradition, get your ballet discount on aortments at plaza west girls and thank you for reminding me of things as precious as a first date or kiss, the crinkle of tissue paper and fragility and strength you carry across stage - is how dancers are always be remembered- legendary scenes captured by audience as only and that makes for a once in a lifetime experience… thank you. Standing ovation ,…
We stopped to see New Moves and are so glad we did. The ballet company in KC is very talented and the show had all new choreography from up and comers that was a delight. I encourage checking it out - makes a great date night!
My daughter (5) has been attending classes here for the last two years, and absolutely loves it! Her instructors have been wonderful, and catching glimpses of KCB rehearsals is so fun! The building is beautiful, and the performances from the youth ballet that are also held there are always a perfect outing for our family.
Honestly can't say enough about this ballet school. Even as a former dancer who has very high standards concerning dance I was blown away. The ability of every teacher she had to get at least 10 3-5 year olds to all do the same thing for 45 min was amazing. I love old school ballet class feel. Reminds me of my summer Joffrey classes. Live piano is so special. The building immediately makes you feel like you are doing something special. Cant wait to watch CeCe grow up here.
Really love their studio classes! Their ballet classes are wonderful and so are the instructors. I do wish they would add some variety like a Variations workshop/course for those of us who used to dance and miss learning and doing choreography. This would be a great alternative to the absolute beginner workshop offered to those who have never done ballet before. They have a flamenco class, but I also think a character class workshop would be nice too!
