Ballet program

The Columbus Ballet first partnered with Columbus State University’s Continuing Education program in 2002 to train young ballet dancers through the Columbus Ballet Conservatory at the Rankin Arts Center.

The Columbus Ballet Conservatory is the official school of the Columbus Ballet and has classes for 3-year olds through adults. The Columbus Ballet uses conservatory students in its productions. Students ages 7 and older can participate in The Nutcracker, an annual production. Columbus Ballet company dancers are advanced dancers in the conservatory who have auditioned for the company and are on pointe. They perform the major roles in The Nutcracker and Spring Repertory program.

"We love the Columbus Ballet Conservatory! It's given our daughter the opportunity
to dance in classical ballet and work with top dancers that no other company in Columbus can offer. We're most pleased with David Herriott's leadership as artistic director and with the solid instruction our daughter receives."
