Johnstown Concert Ballet — Attraction in Johnstown

We’ve been with JCB for 4 years and could not be more happy with the company! Carla does such a great job with the girls, whether they are 4 or 17! My daughter (8) has learned so much. She cried when the “season” was over in the spring, is happy to be part of some summer lessons and can’t wait to get started in the fall. The discipline in classical ballet is tough and to have a place that sticks to the classical ballet is wonderful.

From seeing the Nutctacker at age three, and having my mother sign me up, to my 12th year with the company i’ve fallen more in love with the company and ballet as a whole. Any boy or girl of any age interested in starting ballet training would be nothing but pleased with the amazing company that I am proud to call my...

Johnstown Concert Ballet has always been a great experience for my daughter and I. She has been attending since she was 4 and is now 13. I love the focus on classical ballet and that it truly is a “ballet company” where everyone pitches in and does their part to preserve this art. The dancers also are able to participate in volunteering and community service with the company which teaches strong core values that will stay with them throughout their lives.
