Thanks to everyone who came out for our 1960s themed Barre to Bar last night! The music was fabulous, SO much fun dancing to the 60s tunes! And we had a great time wrapping up the night with drinks and snacks at Zeus Brewing Company.

Our annual Barre to Bar event is back September 17th! This year the theme is the 1960s!!!
Join us for an open level class set to music from the 60s (thematic dancewear encouraged) at 6pm, and then we’ll walk over to the rooftop bar at Zeus Brewing Co, where drinks and snacks are available to purchase.
We’ll have fun hanging out getting to know each other and enjoying the amazing view. See ya there!

Hi friends! You all have been so incredibly generous to our Go Fund Me! If you haven’t yet contributed, now would be a great time! And if you have - thank you! It would great if you could share this again with friends and family. Now that we’ve wrapped up another incredible year with Balletcollective, we’re looking ahead to fall, with activities including our annual Barre to Bar (class followed by an evening hang at the rooftop bar at Zeus Brewing Co) and our Halloween class (costumes optional but encouraged), and most importantly our ongoing weekly ballet classes for adults. Our dance community matters! Thank you!
