Save time and get ahead of the season. Position yourself to just sit back and relax while enjoying once again the premiere performances we offer. Sensory friendly performances are tailored to children and adults with different visual and auditory sensitivities. The show is shortened to one hour.
These performances allow those with sensitivities a chance to enjoy live performance without the potentially starting effects of loud music or harsh lighting.The performance of "Giselle" is an absolute work of romanticism where all technical, stylistic, and dramatic instances meet. Giselle is full of presentiment, love, tragedy, madness, death, and immateriality.

Georgia Ballet is exceptional! The quality of training my daughter received was top notch, and the staff went out of their way to work with her and make sure she had everything to be successful-even down to helping her pick out pointe shoes! They took great precaution to help us feel safe during Covid times, and I also really appreciated that. I highly recommend them!

We HIGHLY recommend The Georgia Ballet- our 4 year old took classes here for a year and Miss Camille really brought out her love of dance and taught her SO well. Had we not moved states she would still be attending classes there. Its been VERY difficult to find a teacher or school to replace this one!
