My daughter had her very first class of any kind in the creative dance class. Everyone of the staff was very friendly. However, drop off was less than organized or structured. It seems as if two groups were starting within 30 min of each, and so extra littles were just hanging out for 30 min. People are coming and going. Door remained locked and parents didn't go past front entry, but for this newbie mom, I had to wait in the hallway for 5 min just to make sure my daughter didn't come out crying from too much going on....after a year of the class, even experiencing a questionable photoshoot day, I still feel they have a good dance school and great way to stay... read full review

My daughters took me to see the nutcracker at Old National Centre.This is my first time seeing the Indianapolis Ballet Company. My understanding is the company was founded in 2018.The dancers were good, very professional, choreography ok. My FAVORITE dancer was by far Yoshiko Kamikusawho is a founding artist. As a former dancer myself, I was totally captivated by Yoshiko. She was strong, graceful, flawless, and absolutely stunning.I enjoyed the evening and applaud the Ballet company. I hope to see them again.
