CFB Team Brainstorms Best Tips for Your Trip to the Ballet!

Every trip to the ballet is an exciting one. You go once or a couple times a year. You see ballet dancers on their toes (it must hurt!) and guys in tights. Sit in a large theater amongst the excitment of an anxious crowd ready to see the performance and wondering what will happen onstage.  Waiting for the curtain open....but before this happens you can do several easy things to make your trip to the ballet even better! Read below for the highest recommended tips from our experts at the Central Florida Ballet.

CFB's Office Administrator Tip: # 5 - Get your tickets early! You will save a lot of time and headache skipping past the hectic ticket line the night of the performance. AND by ordering early, you have a greater selection of tickets which means you are almost guaranteed a great seat - perhaps near the aisle or smack dab in the center. It a double win!

Mom of CFB Academy Student Tip # 4 - What to Wear. Most of my friends I invite to the show ask what they should wear. Well,  there is no specific dress code for the ballet performance, however most attendees dress to show respect for the ballet - anything ranging from your Sunday best to business attire will do.

CFB's Executive Director Tip # 3 - Give yourself ample time in case of traffic delays on the roadways and for parking. Pre-performance "people watching" is much more fun than last minute dashing and the Linda Chapin Theater is a beautiful place for it. 

CFB's School Director Tip #2 - Look the program. Take a few minutes before the show to glance through the program. It will give you a synopsis of the ballet story being presented and you can check out the biographies of the dancers you are about to see onstage.

CFB's Artistic Director Tip #1 - Enjoy the performance! Take the time to simply enjoy the production and revel in the sets, costumes, dancing, and lights. There is truly nothing like it!
