About Dance & Ballet
Dance encompasses classical ballet, contemporary, modern, folk traditions, and cutting-edge choreography. From full-length story ballets like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker to boundary-pushing contemporary works, dance companies across the country deliver performances that move and inspire.

Your First Dance & Ballet Experience
Dance performances are a feast for the eyes and a powerful emotional experience. You don't need to know technique to appreciate the artistry. For ballet, expect graceful, athletic movement set to orchestral music, usually telling a story or expressing themes through choreography. Contemporary and modern dance may be more abstract — let yourself respond to the movement intuitively rather than looking for a narrative. Performances typically run 60-90 minutes. For your first ballet, classic story ballets like Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, or Romeo and Juliet are wonderful starting points. Arrive early, silence your phone, and save applause for the end of each piece or act.
