"Dracula" was amazing!! This is my 6th time seeing "Dracula" at the Colorado Ballet. Dancers were on point (ha-did you get that?). Temperature was good. The Bloody Mary was tasty. The orchestra was delightful. Patrons have access to bars on every level and drinks can be ordered ahead of time for the two intermissions, There is an area to buy souvenirs in the lobby. Parking is in the DPAC parking building-pricey at $17. There are new places to get food and drinks outside. This production is the best!! read more

I have long been a fan of the ballet. I took ballet classes when I was three but at some point it was noted that a ballet dancer, I was not. Now I enjoy the beauty of other people bending their bodies in ways I cannot even imagine. We came to see Fancy Footwork which was a fundraiser for the dancers to apply for various grants. Fancy Footwork was a series of short 2-5 minute dances that were a combination of classic and modern dance. In short- we LOVED it! I love not knowing what is coming next. The modern dance which typically I am less a fan of then the classics was jaw droopingly gorgeous and creative. The studio on Santa Fe is also small and intimate and the audience sat in a bleacher style set up that made for a really special night. read more

Colorado Ballet is incredible!!! We are very lucky to have this superior quality ballet in Colorado. So far we went to The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, Ballet Director's Choice and Ballet MasterWorks. All Excellent, 5 STARS!! When you see international dancers as talented as Yosvani Ramos, Domenico Luciano, Dana Benton, Chandra Kuykendall, Asuka Sasaki and the rest of the Colorado Ballet Company, you really enjoy and grow your appreciation for ballet and admiration for all the professionals that do these world-class performances. We cannot wait for Don Quijote next year! Thank you all for the amazing work you do! read more

If I could provide a review with zero stars, I would. My family and I experienced a sudden medical emergency on the date of the performance we had tickets to for the Nutcracker. Not being able to reach a human on the day of the show, we were forced to forfeit the entire $350 purchase of tickets with no exception. The Colorado Ballet is a non-profit and its refusal to refund the $350 is not likened to a donation. We want our money back. A service charge refund of $28.40 is an insult. Don't want to lose $350 of your hard earned money? Don't support the Colorado Ballet. They're in it for the money and have no regard for a sudden medical emergency. read more

Colorado Ballet is amazing. They put on some incredible productions. I've seen everything from short modern pieces to our annual Nutcracker trip. My son and daughter both love the ballet. I recommend getting their season tickets when you can to experience some of the more obscure productions that they do throughout the year. read more

I saw the Nutcracker last night. I enjoyed the performance overall but I wish they didn't add new day age kids/tiktok moved that the mouse king army did. Between the dab, the whip/nae nae and other little moves, I wish they kept the whole thing classical instead of catering to the younger generation since the Nutcracker itself is just timeless. The dancers were beautiful. The snow scene was my favorite. read more

I have been to see the Colorado Ballet twice this season. The first, was to see the Nutcracker, which gave me the "ballet bug!" I didn't even know what I was missing in my life! It was so wonderful! So when the opportunity arose to see Peter Pan, I jumped on the opportunity! I had such a wonderful time! I loved the performance! I am looking forward to future performances! We are so fortunate to have such a talented local dance company! read more

I am totally impressed with the shows put on by the Colorado Ballet. Gil, the director, has been masterful at pushing CB to greatness. Sleeping Beauty, their most recent show was so artful and athletic. I am especially enchanted by MACKENZIE DESSENS who astounded the audience with her portrayal of "Happiness" read more

This is most definitely the finest ballet troupe in Colorado. professional dancers and an incredible orchestra. Yes- I am a member. But I am only somewhat biased! The costumes are tremendous and anytime one can see a performance at the Ellie Caulkins is a good day. If you have never been to a ballet- start with the Nutcracker. read more

I had a very disappointing experience with the Adult Beginner Class. It was nothing like the description online, which states that it's for "beginner teen/ adult as well as students who would like to work in a slower paced environment" and that it was "subject to the needs of the overall attendees of each class." This is simply false. The teacher was elderly, very difficult to hear, and couldn't demonstrate her steps. She was only interested in the advanced students. Her choreography was interested and I like the combinations, but she did absolutely no teaching. I felt bad for the teenage girl who was completely neglected. Will not be coming back. read more

Great ballet company in Colorado. As someone who loves ballet but has only seen the Nutcracker several times, I was happy to learn upon moving to Denver that they have a ballet company which every year comes out with a full season comprised of classics as well as new works. I first saw the company perform at the Arvada Center for their "Evening Under the Stars" in which they danced selections from past seasons as well as some teasers from the current season. I finally got the chance to see a full performance when I went to see Alice in Wonderland at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Amazing show, funny and entertaining while also displaying the amazing talent and athleticism of the dancers. The sets were very creative and the orchestra was great too. It was great show for both adults and kids and I am not surprised to learn the performances were sold out. Now I can't wait to catch Swan Lake for next season! read more

Outdoor performance in Arvada; $15 for my first time to see a dance performance. What a gift!

I really love that we have this quality of professional ballet in Denver, I go to almost every work they do, except some of the kid stuff.

Love the Colorado Ballet new location on Santa Fe. So nice and the teachers are awesome! Very organized and a nice waiting area.

Wonderful dancers and wonderful performances!! The shows are so high-quality and wonderful to bring families to! Will see again!

Worst experience ever at the Colorado Ballet's Nutcracker [Saturday, December 27th, 6:30 PM performance]. Late comers were still being seated almost 30 minutes after the performance had started, even when ticket holders had been warned that late arriving patrons would be asked to remain in the lobby until a performance break or intermission. Absolute disrespect to the performers, the orchestra and other patrons. We should receive a refund for such disrespectful treatment. read more
