Columbia Conservatory of Dance

Our First Summer Session of Dance Classes starts tomorrow - Tuesday June 2nd 🩰💕

Another great competition weekend in the books! Thank you for the fun opportunity to showcase some of our dancers!

Had a great weekend at this weekend ⭐️ So proud of all of our soloists!

Congratulations to our Co-Founder, William Starrett, on receiving the Order of the Palmetto.

We are proud to share that William Starrett, CEO and Artistic Director of South Carolina Ballet, has been awarded the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian honor.

He was surprised with the award on stage during bows at our March 7th performance of Sapphire Ballet at the Koger Center for the Arts, during our 65th Anniversary Season and as he begins his 40th year as Artistic Director.

The award was presented by South Carolina Ballet’s former Prima Ballerina Mariclare Miranda, who Mr. Starrett presented with the same honor in 2006, and Jared Smith, President of the Board of Directors.

The Order of the Palmetto recognizes individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary lifetime achievement, selfless service, and significant contributions to the state of South Carolina. The award is bestowed at the discretion of the Governor and is considered the state’s highest civilian recognition.

Please join us in congratulating William Starrett on this well-deserved honor.
