Centennial State Ballet remains committed to fostering holistic youth growth as we cultivate tomorrow's leaders. The organization was built on strong values of inclusivity, courage, collaboration, and excellence, and we strive to act on those values every day. CSB is that bouquet and, together, we dedicate each rehearsal, performance, and event to the passion the art form of dance unearths in the soul; we believe the power of expressivity overcomes any obstacle gracefully and elegantly.
Community and Inclusivity: CSB commits to building community on stage and in hearts through collaboration and personal relationships. Compassion and Excellence: We value soft skills like self-advocacy, a strong work ethic, and respectful interactions.
Collaboration and Optimism: CSB believes the transformative power of ballet and movement creates more conscientious humans because our consciousness can be redefined not just as an individual process, but as a shared experience that we can positively influence by dancing or viewing dance together.
Our Mission is to engage, enrich, and inspire the human spirit through artistically exceptional youth ballet education, performance, and community engagement.
Our Vision is to bring the beauty of classical ballet to the community through expressive performance. Instilling a lifelong love for ballet, we aim to nurture exceptional dancers who are resilient, confident individuals by promoting creativity, discipline, and a strong sense of community. With that sense of community, we strive to give back to all who would benefit.
CSB’s four programs; School, Performance, Community Engagement, and Company Member Enrichment contribute to cultural richness and vitality for all.
To engage, enrich, and inspire the human spirit through artistically exceptional youth ballet education, performance, and community engagement.
The 2024/25 season "Ballet, Back to Basics", Centennial State Ballet will enter it's 13th season with a focus on the fundamentals of what makes Ballet so wonderful!
For performers, participation promotes and cultivates a variety of soft skills in preparation for a dancer's future endeavors, whether or not they choose to pursue dance as a professional career.
During the rehearsal process, youth 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. Our dancers develop a strong work ethic via this process, remaining committed to their own excellence as well as the collaborative success of the overall production.
During performance, the dancers must perform with clarity and honesty before an audience. They must react proactively to the challenges that live performance can bring, be it a different tempo in accompaniment or a misstep on stage. Through live performance, dancers realize they can prepare and work to improve their personal success; however, the overall success of the production requires the cooperation of hundreds of individuals, including staff and volunteers.
These powerful lessons are tools that, when coupled with desire, embody joy throughout the performing arts.
