The studios at Atlanta Ballet are buzzing with energy as Atlanta Ballet 2 prepares for the charming arrival of Snow White. You might have already seen these rising stars in some of Atlanta Ballet’s larger productions this season’s The Nutcracker or Giselle. However, the headliner of the season for many families is happening this spring, where Atlanta Ballet 2 take center stage in Snow White.

Step into a world where fairytale magic meets high-class artistry, with our one-hour Family Ballet series remaining a seasonal highlight for ballet lovers with young family members in their life. While these productions are tailored to captivate our youngest enthusiasts, the standard of excellence remains uncompromising. Atlanta Ballet 2 is a hand-picked cohort of exceptional talent, training in the same studios and under the same high standards as our professional Company.

These young dancers have arrived at a defining point in their transitions to becoming professional dancers. Bruce Wells, the visionary behind our Family Ballet series, notes the caliber of working with Atlanta Ballet 2, sharing that they “are incredibly talented and gifted and have a global view of dance. They have been trained to work hard and they are with me every step of the way, every day. Some dancers hold onto you and want you to lead them. Not Atlanta Ballet 2. Since the last time I was here in 2020, 15 of the Atlanta Ballet 2 dancers have since moved to the Company, and that’s such a pleasure to see.”

The pathway to the stage began for Atlanta Ballet 2 long before Snow White. Sharing the Cobb Energy Centre stage with Atlanta Ballet 2 is the Children’s Cast courtesy of The Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education (The Centre).

The Centre has been training the next generation of ballet for the past 30 years. Even our youngest dancers in the Children’s Cast work with repetiteurs, offering every student an incredible opportunity to perform at a professional level, such as taking part in The Nutcracker and our Family Ballets. Witness the majestic world of Snow White spring to life as Children’s Cast embody fantastical forest creatures, whimsical tree spirits, and galivanting dwarfs straight from the storybook.

From the first flutter of snow at the Queen’s window to the triumph of true love’s kiss, every leap and twirl of this production is designed to enchant all ages. As the curtain rises on Snow White, your family will be swept away by the breathtaking grace and athleticism of these incredible performers.

When introducing children to the arts, especially ballet, many feel forced to choose between an overly simplified production that lacks artistic depth or a full-length ballet that may be too demanding for younger attention spans. Our production of Snow White offers the perfect solution: a sophisticated, one-hour format that engages every generation. This vibrant, fast-paced experience delivers world-class artistry.

We also invite you to be inspired as Atlanta Ballet 2 portrays the wondrous tale of Snow White with every step. These gifted dancers will captivate the whole family, taking command of the stage from the moment the curtain rises. Starring the hand-picked talent representing the Artistic Director’s vision, get a rare first look at the ballet stars of tomorrow as they take on their most demanding leading roles yet.

Experience the world-class artistry of Atlanta Ballet 2 in a vibrant, one-hour format perfect for the whole family! Tickets to Snow White are on sale now, running March 28-29, 2026.
