Quick facts about Centennial State Ballet

What is Centennial State Ballet?
Centennial State Ballet is a arts & culture supporting organization (509(a)(3)) based in Longmont, United States. Our 9th annual time to dance digital season featured youth performers ranging in ages from 5 to 18 years old (culled from local dance studios) and community member volunteer performers. Due to pandemic restrictions, auditions, rehearsals, and filming sessions occurred in small groups and in some cases virtually.

Performances: for the time to dance season of 2020-2021, the company produced a fully digital season with four productions - garden party: a senior celebration; fall showcase featuring die puppenfee; the nutcracker; and gala performance featuring coppelia. Centennial state ballet obtained livestream technology that allowed these productions to be pre-recorded and streamed at home or viewed later through on demand service. Company membership: youth performers cultivate a variety of soft skills that help prepare them for their future endeavors, whether or not they choose to pursue dance as a professional career. During the rehearsal process, company members must learn to be attentive, detail-oriented self- advocates who are aware of their responsibilities and the needs of those around them. They learn to work collaboratively to solve problems and to respond respectfully and kindly when others need their help. They develop a strong work ethic via this process, remaining committed to their own excellence as well as the collaborative success of the overall pr
