10 Years of Ballet Bristol

Ballet Bristol was founded as a community ballet company to make the performance of classical ballet an obtainable goal for adult dancers of all levels.  From a group of only 5 dancers ten years ago, the company has grown significantly, and is proud to serve the community of Bristol with accessible performances, in both small venues such as retirement and nursing homes, as well as larger public galas.  The company now includes former professionals, advanced dancers, adults who studied dance as children, as well as dancers who started to learn ballet as adults.
