There's really nothing quite like a night at the ballet - the elegance, the grace, the excitement. Although I love Georgia Ballet, Atlanta Ballet reigns supreme. Begun 75 years ago as the Dorothy Alexander Concert Group, they've had plenty of time to get it perfect. It is the oldest professional dance company in America. I've been lucky enough to attend at least one performance given by Atlanta Ballet since I was young. In that time, I've been lucky enough to have seen shows such as Romeo and Juliet, The Nutty Nutcracker, Dracula, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Gwinnett Interlude, The Indigo Girls Project and, of course, The Nutcracker Suite. Although these performances include a variety of styles and genres, each one was excellent and performed with perfect.
The Centre for Dance Education is also an important part of Atlanta Ballet. The Centre offers classes for children as young as four, an acclaimed pre-professional division and a variety of exciting dance classes ranging from modern and jazz to swing and hip-hop.
