Founded in 1961 as Columbia City Ballet, South Carolina Ballet is the state’s leading professional ballet company, presenting performances, educational programs, and community initiatives that reach audiences across South Carolina and the Southeast. One of ballet’s most celebrated masterpieces, Sleeping Beauty embodies the elegance, beauty, and technical brilliance of the classical art form. One of South Carolina Ballet’s most enduring productions, it was first staged by the company in 1966 and reimagined by William Starrett in 1996, remaining a cornerstone of the company’s classical repertoire. Set to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, this glorious production offers audiences a grand and unforgettable ballet experience.
In addition to the performance, the company will teach a master class at a St. Augustine dance school prior to the performance.
