Ballet Memphis is such a treasure!

When they moved to Overton Square, they truly became an anchor for our performing arts district.

I can't make it through the holidays without The Nutcracker and I really appreciate how they recorded the play and donated it to Memphis during the pandemic.

I'm at the point where I know the dancers on sight and know their special gifts.

I took a tour of the space before COVID-19 changed our lives. I love how you can see the dancers practicing from the street through the massive glass windows.

They have dance school, community dance classes and

I am a student of Ballet Memphis and l love their classes. My husband and l just wanted to go watch the show Fall Mix, a 2pm Sunday show at their inhouse venue. Tix are 15, which is fine, l would also have payed 25. But that they saidevery one of our little children, 2 years, 1 year and even our baby, 4 months, should have a full ticket, is outrageous and ridiculous. Shame on you for that un-familyfriendly attitude! We will not consider coming back to an event in the future.

How neat to have a serious ballet school nearby.

This school is home to talented professionals and instructors and the next performance will be 'Romeo & Juliet'. One of my favorites.

If you're interested in ballet as an adult, they offer supplemental classes, as well as childrens' classes and several grades of ballet study.

In addition, they offer STOTT Pilates classes, with introductory classes only $15.
