Welcome CB Moves
This month, we are excited to welcome our CB Moves students back to the Margaret and Michael Valentine Center for Dance, with classes now underway. Please be on the lookout for wheelchairs and mobility aids in the parent and student lounges and help us give a warm welcome to all our CB Moves families-- including many brand new to Cincinnati Ballet this year as this program continues to grow!

Welcome Teacher Assistants
Last month we introduced you to our Student Experience Representatives (SERs) who provide key onsite support to students and families during evening and weekend class hours.

Today we want to introduce another team of helpers you might see when you’re here for class - our Children's Division Teacher Assistants! Most of the time they’re here at the Center for Dance, these volunteers are taking class themselves as students in our Preparatory, Community, Young Dancer, Advanced and Professional Training Divisions. But once or twice a week they lend a hand in Children’s Division classes, helping teachers care for students, demonstrating steps, and serving as role models for our youngest dancers. We’re so grateful to this talented team of young volunteers, and we hope you’ll join us in extending thanks! Their support is a huge part of our successful and positive class culture!

Hailed as the most romantic ballet of all time, Giselle explores enduring love, devastating betrayal, and ultimate forgiveness. The story of a peasant girl who descends into emotional turmoil and dies of a broken heart after her lover betrays her is both haunting and beautiful. With virtuoso principal roles and the iconic corps de ballet as the tragic spirits, the Willis, and live music from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
