Carolina Ballet is the region’s only professional ballet company and launched The School of Carolina Ballet in September 2018.
Whether pursuing a professional track, or simply interested in studying dance, students will develop the technique and knowledge necessary to achieve their personal goals learning from our artistic staff.
