Cincinnati Ballet’s Second Company – CB2 consists of up-and-coming dancers who have been invited to train with us for up to two years. CB2 dancers are afforded the opportunity of training and performing alongside our Main Company artists. Our CB2 dancers perform principal and soloist roles in our annual Family Series. These young, talented dancers also perform in community performances and events throughout the region.
In recent years, CB2 alumni have been regularly invited to join Cincinnati Ballet’s Main Company. Many CB2 dancers have also transitioned to careers with professional companies around the world, including Alberta Ballet, American Ballet Theater, Alvin Ailey, Bayerisches Staatsballet, Dance Theater of Harlem, Kansas City Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, Royal New Zealand Ballet, Smuin Ballet, and West Australian Ballet.
Adapted from the fairy tale classic, this charming production is designed to delight audiences of all ages. It features familiar characters, including the evil witch who tempts the children to her cottage with beautifully decorated treats. This one-hour ballet brings the beloved story to life for all ages and features the Second Company, CB2, alongside students from the Cincinnati Otto M. Budig Academy in this regional premiere at the Aronoff Center for the Arts.
