For the first time since 1958 – that’s 68 years – Montgomery Ballet owns a building. It used to be a dry cleaner’s on Coliseum Boulevard. Now it’s two studios, a costume shop, and a black box theater so intimate you can hear the dancers breathe.

Tonight and tomorrow at 7:00 PM, we’re opening the doors for free. Not “free with a catch.” Free free.

Friday: The Fairy Doll Ballet (1903, whimsical, technical) + Lights (electronic, dark, luminous)

Saturday: Ocean & Pearls + La Vivandière (virtuosic pas de deux) + Lights

We’ve been nomads since 2022. Lee Wilcoxon, Julie Byrd, the Junior League, Eastbrook Shopping Center – all temporary lifelines. Now? Permanent.

Dance lives here. Really, truly here.

Come see what 70 years of perseverance looks like. Bring your curiosity. No ticket? First-come at the door, but honestly? It’s free.

💙 We can’t say thank you enough to John Lee Paint!

Through every step of our building project, they’ve been right there — providing water for pressure washing, discounts on paint and supplies, advice, and encouragement. Their generosity and community spirit have meant the world to us.

We can’t wait to open our new doors soon — right next to our friends at John Lee Paint!

💙 We’re sending a huge thank-you to Sabel Steel for donating plumbing supplies to help us finish our new facility! Every local partnership makes a difference, and Sabel’s generosity is helping turn our dream space into a reality.

The new building isn’t ready just yet — but it’s coming soon, and we can’t wait to welcome the community inside.
