Indianapolis Ballet

Went to the Indianapolis' version of The Sleeping Beauty this weekend. First, no one can dispute the fact that each of the dancers is athletic. All on point, literally, and the Beauty, fantastic precision. I was impressed by their discipline to the craft. However, as a pedestrian to this art, I was very disappointed by the length of the production. We were already into the first intermission and I was checking my watch. Yes, it takes time to develop a story, I get that, but as in MLB, please do something to cut the length. I'd have a few suggestions, but again, they'd be only given as a common patron, first timer at that. I will go again, but something has to be done...read full review

My daughters took me to see the nutcracker at Old National Centre.This is my first time seeing the Indianapolis Ballet Company. My understanding is the company was founded in 2018.The dancers were good, very professional, choreography ok. My FAVORITE dancer was by far Yoshiko Kamikusawho is a founding artist. As a former dancer myself, I was totally captivated by Yoshiko. She was strong, graceful, flawless, and absolutely stunning.I enjoyed the evening and applaud the Ballet company. I hope to see them again.

Indianapolis Ballet's Fringe performance at the Athenaeum was like a buffet! All of the dancers were amazing. Chris Lingner has added some amazing new touches to his already superior partnering skills. Yoshiko shone both in her rendering of "The Swan", especially her arm and head movement. See this company often - they are worth every penny and more.
