6:30PM – 10:30PM

Starline at South Hills

Join us for The First Dance, an evening marking the beginning of a beautiful new chapter for Carolina Ballet and a defining moment in our history. For one remarkable night, we will gather within our future home while it is still taking shape, before the studios are filled, before the doors officially open, and before these spaces become part of our everyday life.

In partnership with LODEN Development, Carolina Ballet is creating the permanent home we have long envisioned, a place designed for our dancers, students, artists, and community, and one that will shape the future of Carolina Ballet. Before construction begins, we want you to experience the extraordinary possibilities of this magnificent building.
