The Ballet in Lynchburg

2023-24 Season | Tickets on sale now!


Snow White, our Family Series ballet based on the beloved Grimm’s fairy tale, follows the fairest of them all as she meets a forest full of friends, the Seven Dwarfs, and a dashing Prince. Experience the magic of love and friendship in this captivating 90-minute ballet!

Ever After Party

After select performances in Lynchburg, boys and girls ages 3-8 can attend the exclusive children’s event onstage. A special VIP ticket gives your child access to both the ballet and this private soiree where guests can meet the ballerinas, take photographs with their favorite characters, and learn new dance steps with Snow White’s friends.

We encourage children to sport their finest apparel for the occasion, whether formal attire, princess tiaras, or their Sunday best.  All-inclusive tickets to the performance + after party are only available in the VIP seating section (gold seats in orchestra center) with free drinks and magical cocktails for adults 21+. All VIP guests need a ticket to the performance + party, and children must be accompanied by an adult; lap babies are free!

Angles and LSO

Since the company’s inception in 2007, Lynchburg has been woven into the creation and presentation of new works. We have collaborated with regional artists and students from Dance Theatre of Lynchburg since 2009 and have presented The Nutcracker for 5,000+ patrons, first at E. C. Glass High School and now as Resident Dance Company at the Academy.

We partner with the Central Virginia Ballet school in Lynchburg to provide dance education and performance opportunities to young children ages 5 to 18, and as we move forward in Lynchburg, we plan to bring even more educational outreach to the region.

The Ballet is a nonprofit organization dedicated to elevating the art of dance and promoting the health and wellness of our artists. We firmly believe that excellence in ballet is achieved by diverse dancers that represent our community.
