Manassas Ballet Theatre — Attraction in Manassas

Manassas Ballet Theatre is surprisingly good, with talented dancers and exquisite costumes. The quality is way beyond what you would expect from a local group - I have seen ballet at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and I enjoyed Manassas Ballet Theatre just as much.
