Columbus Ballet Review

If I could give less of a star I would. The sound guy and saved seats for staff was right in the middle of one of the seat sections. The concierge allowed us to sit 3 rows behind him and after it filled up we found out that he will be sitting up on the arm rest the entire time. There was a woman who was walking around claiming to know the woman in charge of balletmet and that apparently gave her the right to save seats up until minutes before it started and would not allow individuals who were already here to sit down. The staff members did not care that their staff was in the way of paying patrons to see the show. This was my first experience with the ballet and I will not be back.

Fun and interesting. Getting to live my childhood dream of learning and trying to learn ballet dance is great. The BalletMet Columbus is a great place to Visit and get a view of ballet dance world.

Amazing Professional Ballet Company AND Dance Academy! I feel so lucky to be in Columbus and able to enjoy the artistry of the dancers at BalletMet. This is top quality art and entertainment that's easily accessible to all. Plus, BalletMet has a very strong Dance Academy where students not only get top notch training, but also have the opportunity to audition for parts in the professional Company's productions. It's amazing to see these young artists benefit from being around the professionals. If you have never seen a dance performance, definitely check them out. And if you or your kids have any interest in dance and movement, definitely check out the many classes that the Academy offers.

It was great seeing a live performance again, it was great

Excellent, professional dance company and academy that cares as much about the health and safety of their people as they do about the artistry.

Was there for a fundraising benefit for my organization. First time in the space, it was fantastic.

I attended Balletmet and danced with them for many years. Unfortunately, like myself and many other black dancers. Balletmet has shown racist tendencies. My personal experience has been that the teachers were not friendly. They didn t treat me as equal and have the same expectations for me as other student who didn t look like me. I was told that my people should stick to jazz and African dance. I was told that my people s body type is not for ballet. I was told by the director that I should consider myself fortunate to even be attending Balletmet on a scholarship. That the only reason I was there is because rich white people paid my way. Little did this director know. I understood that Balletmet received government funding for blacks to attend. Black females have went through so much hatred at Balletmet. As an adult now, I have finally overcome the childhood scars left by the staff and the parents I encountered. I have too many stories and memories I could share. The reality is that even in 2018 the reality that as blacks in this society... we are still treat less than human.

We were there for an in person audition for our 10 year old. Everyone was great and it was handled professionally.

An amazing dance school and company. Everyone is so kind and the teachers are wonderful to the children. The professional dancers are breathtaking in every performance.

I want to congratulate each person who contributed to the magical performance of Peter Pan. I was as spellbound as my 4 year-old grand daughter. I can not say enough about the costumes, the spectacular set designs, the absolutely incredible flying effects, the choreography, and of course the magnificence of the dancers. Thank you for introducing a new generation to the wonder and beauty of the ballet!

I grew up dancing with balletmet, and ended up leaving to go to a better dance company. I am extremely disappointed with how they handled the nutcracker this year. Despite leaving, I still would go back to see the nutcracker every year. Giving a 30 minute cut up version with a bad voice over is just insulting. This year has been so bad, balletmet films every year so they have plenty of footage, give us the full performance!!! Also would like to point out that students in the show were not allowed to get copies of the performance...

Because I dance at Ballet Met and it is a good place to be

Classes for little ones are well organized and disciplined. Not the cheapest ballet classes in town, but a cool facility. Old building remodeled with contemporary design.
