La Fille set for June 9 and 10

Ballet North is very pleased to present La Fille mal gardee "The Wayward Daughter" June 9 and 10, 2017 at the Excelsior Springs Performing Arts Center, 612 Tiger Drive Excelsior Springs Missouri,  7:30 pm Friday and Saturday.

A delightful mix of comedic missteps, a little romance and even dancing chickens create a captivating and truly amusing rendering of pastoral life that seems oddly accurate even in today's world.  You've never seen a ballet like this before!

Tickets are available online using the link on the front page of this website.  See you at the stage!

Boy's Ballet Class

Boy's Ballet Class:

On Wednesdays 6:30 - 7:00 pm.  For ages 7 and up -- how it works is boys will take either Pre-Ballet 4 from 5 - 6 pm if under 10 years of age, then also take the Boy's Class from 6:30 - 7:00 pm making for an awesome double play of ballet!  Boys over 10 years of age will take Grade 1 from 5 - 6:30 pm then the Boy's Class from 6:30 - 7:00 pm and pas de deux from 7 - 7:30 pm which is a tremendous tripple play of ballet skills buliding.   For getting a young man started in ballet, this is as good as it gets!

First Day Back To Class

The first day back to class after our mid-summer pause will be MONDAY JULY 7, 2014. 

Due to Saturday July 5 being right after the 4th of July and during the actual holiday weekend, it is very likely that a "Ghostship" situation would occur where few to no students or dancers would be present making it rather pointless to hold classes on Saturday July 5.  Monday July 7 is not a holiday and obviously not a weekend day so it should present no challenges.  For all Saturday students, your first day will be Saturday July 12!
