Building Gets a Make-over Professionals from the design firm ATA Architects are working closely with ballet staff and board members to renovate the present building on Deerfield Road. Thanks to the generosity of Cincinnati Ballet board member Mr. Tom Neyer, Jr. , the space will be provided at minimal expense to the Ballet. Approximately 6400 square feet will accommodate two rehearsal studios, dressing rooms, a lounge and reception area, and administrative offices. Convenient parking will also be available. Strategic placement of studio windows is planned to allow natural light to enhance the studio environment, and special viewing windows inside the building will permit observation of classes.
Additional plans call for the new facility to host dance demonstrations and showcase presentations.
We know the need is great and that many families will appreciate the convenience of this new location. New School Director Ready for the Challenge. The opening of a new satellite facility presents many challenges to Cincinnati Ballet. The recent appointment of Daniel Simmons to the position of School Director ensures strong leadership and success of the academy. Daniel Simmons arrived in Cincinnati from his position as Artistic Director of San Jose Dance Theatre and Director of Mountain View Academy of Ballet.
