About CITY BALLET
City Ballet Raleigh was founded in 1991 by Sandra Zellinger. Located in North Raleigh, City Ballet Raleigh provides quality training to a variety of young dancers, whether they are pursuing professional goals or enjoying the benefits of a dance education. The School offers students the opportunity to perform in a full-length Nutcracker, a full-length spring performance, and presents numerous workshops to expose students to different dance genres beyond the classical curriculum. In addition to its annual production of The Nutcracker and a recital, City Ballet Raleigh performs at numerous community events including the Holiday Tree Lighting at Lafayette Village, presents programs at libraries and Marbles Kids Museum, as well as performs at the Festival of NC Dance presented by the UNC School of the Arts~
In 2017, the school transitioned from training students in the Cecchetti Syllabus of classical ballet to the American Ballet Theatre® National Training Curriculum. Classes are offered in ballet, pointe, variations, modern, jazz, tap, and hip hop. City Ballet’s philosophy encourages musicality, fosters creative expression, and teaches an appreciation of dance form and aesthetic; its goal is to enable all students to experience the joy of dance and performance while attaining professional technique and style.
