You’re invited to elevate your senses with Momentum, our bold menu of brilliant dance! Presented at the spectacular yet intimate Hoff Family Arts & Culture Center in Council Bluffs, this mixed-repertory program showcases the expressive range of ballet with varied and exhilarating works – including two world premieres!
As the official school of American Midwest Ballet, the AMB School offers a comprehensive program for everyone who loves dance. Aspiring professionals, just-for-fun young dancers, and passion-driven adult dancers will find a welcoming home with us!
Offerings include: ballet, pointe, modern/contemporary, jazz, and tap, plus creative movement and pre-ballet for our youngest dancers. Performance opportunities are available at every level. Registration is ongoing throughout the year!
