Changing lives through dance

Central New York Ballet is an artist-centered, inclusive, professional ballet company dedicated to uncompromising artistic excellence.

Meet CNY Ballet

Thank you to everyone who joined us for two weekends of unforgettable performances filled with passion, romance, and bold artistry.

This electrifying program opened with original choreography by our guest artists and Artistic Director Claire Solis, showcasing fresh voices and dynamic movement that explored passion in all its complexity.

The production culminated in Claire Solis’ fiery reimagining of Carmen, bringing new excitement to Bizet’s timeless story and offering audiences an engaging, visually stunning experience.

We are so grateful to our dancers, artists, creative team, and audiences for making this performance so memorable. Thank you for being part of an experience that will linger well beyond the final curtain.
