Georgia is a state that is full of rich history. It was part of the original southern territories that separated from the main United States during the Civil War to start their own governmental system.
Though the South rejoined the North after the war, it still retains all of its southern glamour and intrigue. With its roots in jazz, African American art, music, and dance, Atlanta is a city whose artistic district should be explored thoroughly.
One of the most important aspects is the Atlanta Ballet. It was established in the year 1929, founded by Dorothy Alexander, and is the oldest professional dance company in the United States of America.
It is also the largest self-supported arts organization in the state of Georgia. It has shown both the classics of ballet, including some of the most historical stories, and more modern originals.
Performances are not just performed in the ballet dance style; many use jazz and contemporary to tell the stories through dance and music. The company is a leader in the promotion and education of dancing and has played a huge part in the revitalization and growth of the city's arts community.
In fact, the Atlanta Ballet has proven to be an ambassador of the city all over the country, as well as internationally. Some countries that the troupe has performed in include Taiwan and South Korea.
They were the main performance during the 1996 Olympic Arts Festival and, in 1999, performed Peter Pan for a millennial celebration in London. Some of the most celebrated and talented dancers have joined the Atlanta Ballet to showcase their gifts.
In the mid-1990's, the Centre for Dance Education was created, where dancers, both young and old, can come to learn ballet, nurture their movement, and express their emotions and creativity through their bodies. They offer classes for individuals as young as two, and have a wide span of styles including hip hop, jazz, and flamenco.
Many of those that enrolled in the program are able to perform with the main troupe, especially during the holidays and the performance of The Nutcracker. Very often, those that have studied with organization throughout their lives are chosen to be members as young adults.
The Atlanta Ballet has an immense community outreach program that spans all across the citizens and organizations of the area. Dance is taught in school to children who, otherwise, would not be able to learn.
It has improved the grades and outlook of numerous school children throughout the city. The Symphony Orchestra is another aspect of performance art that is strong in this area.
The group has collected over two dozen Grammy awards over the span of their sixty year life. The Orchestra and Chorus have been able to record over one hundred performances and songs.
ASO has been recognized as one of the most influential and finest orchestras in the entirety of the United States. There are ninety-five members overall, and they produce over two hundred performances each year.
They even have an annual celebration remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The majority of their performances take place at the Woodruff Arts Center in Midtown.
However, throughout the summer, they take these outdoors to different amphitheaters across the entire span of downtown. There is even a children's program that involves some of the most talented young musicians in the state of Georgia.
Those that are interested in paying a visit can always browse the organization's website for ticket prices, calendars, and events throughout the year. Ticket prices vary according to the event that one wishes to attend.
However, there are a number of group and student prices available for those that wish to take an educational trip to the symphony. Those that hope to be able to see the orchestra play after they have left Georgia do have this option; they usually spend a portion of the year touring other states throughout the country.
They also host a school for composers, where promising artists can display their talents and learn more about the fabrication of music and symphonies. The performance arts are definitely alive in this city; do your best to get in as many performances as you can, whether it is through dance or music, and your trip to Atlanta will be complete.
