Birmingham Ballet

Birmingham Ballet is a Profit based organization. It was extremely evident after we signed up for the community casting for The Nutcracker. There are other ballet companies that are non-​profit that i would recommend instead of this one. We were told several things up front and they did not happen. One being that my child was not going to be on stage with 15 – 20 others and be in the background. They assured me that the group she was cast in would only have 5 – 8. At my child’s performance there were 9 kids and they were in the very back of the stage except for the 10 seconds they came to the middle of the whole 30 seconds they were on stage. Oh and there were at least 16 people other dancers on the stage during this. They don’t let the parents in to see any of the rehearsals so we had no clue what to expect until show time. This experience was basically a bunch of expensive empty promises and extremely disappointing!
