The preprofessional company has earned a national reputation through its summer and year-round offerings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal when opening the Conservatory was to have a place in Asheville for people who seriously wanted to train in classical ballet,\u201d says director Angie Lynn, who cofounded the Conservatory with husband Chris in 2009. In the summer, open classes and workshops are available for dancers as young as five.<\/p>\n<p>Angie received training at London\u2019s prestigious Arts Educational Schools and has danced with the Vienna Festival Ballet and other companies. With a background in Broadway musical theater, Chris serves as managing director. Wayne Burritt is ballet master at the Conservatory.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to classical ballet, modern dance is also a focus for preprofessionals. Performances take place at Diana Wortham Theatre. The preprofessional company\u2019s <i>Winter Works: Innovations and Variations<\/i> is set for Friday, March 11, at 7 p.m. and the spring ballet, <i>Paquita<\/i>, runs June 3\u20134.<\/p>\n<p><i>Ballet Conservatory of Asheville is located at 6 E. Chestnut Street in Asheville, at the five points intersection.
