Costume Fittings for Preparatory, Young Dancer and Advanced DivisionsCostume fittings have been rescheduled for April 15-18. We will be sending a more detailed note tomorrow, so make sure to check your email for the most up to date information. You can also view the updated fitting schedule HERE. Costume Distribution Week for Children's Division Costumes will be distributed before or after your student’s class the week of April 22 – 27. During that week, we encourage a parent or guardian be present to pick up your
student and sign for their costume. It’s important each student’s costume makes it into the right hands. All students are required to have their costume in order to participate in Spring Production, and should costumes not make it home, there’s not sufficient time to order another.
Sign Up to Volunteer!
Volunteer sign-ups are now available for Spring Production
rehearsals and performances, and we’re so grateful for the support of the many parents, guardians, and family members who pitch in behind the scenes to make our year-end productions such a success. All performance volunteers will have the opportunity to view their dancer's piece from backstage, and all volunteers get one free ticket to the Spring Production performance of their choice!

Join us as we celebrate our 60th Anniversary Celebration presented by PNC. This one-night-only event will feature special performances from every aspect of Cincinnati Ballet, including an alumni performance by former principal dancer and current Interim Artistic Director Cervilio Miguel Amador. This incredible evening will also feature an electrifying main company performance, a fan-favorite pas de deux from choreographer and Artistic Director Emerita Victoria Morgan, a video tribute, and so much more!
We are so excited that a number of our Academy students have opted to participate in this experience! During the May 9th performance, Cincinnati Ballet will proudly feature its first-ever Défilé. This time-honored tradition in dance consists of a grand procession of dancers that progresses from young dancers through the highest ranks of the Company, celebrating the talent of all levels of Cincinnati Ballet.
This landmark celebration is a must-see event! We hope to see you there!
