Founded in 1929, Atlanta Ballet is one of the premier dance companies in the country and the official state Ballet of Georgia. Atlanta Ballet's eclectic repertoire spans ballet history, highlighted by beloved classics and inventive originals. Under the Direction of Artistic Director Gennadi Nedvigin, Atlanta Ballet continues its commitment to share and educate audiences on the empowering joy of dance. In 1996, Atlanta Ballet opened the Centre for Dance Education and is dedicated to nurturing young dancers while providing an outlet for adults to express their creativity. The Centre serves over 150,000 people in metro Atlanta each year. Atlanta Ballet's roots remain firmly grounded in the Atlanta community and continue to play a vital role in the city's cultural growth and revitalization.
The Dance Centre was founded in 1996 to provide exceptional dance education in a warm, caring environment. The qualified, adult staff at The Dance Centre focuses on the development of each student to produce self-confidence, discipline, creativity, rhythm, and coordination. We welcome both the student who works toward a professional career in dance as well as the student who dances purely for the joy of movement and the benefits that transfer to everyday life.
