✨ Buffalo City Ballet at the Black Doll Exhibit ✨

This past weekend was packed, from the Black Doll Exhibit to our Art in Motion event. We were honored to be apart of the 7th Annual Black Doll Exhibit at the Buffalo Museum of Science. Thank you to Senator April N.M. Baskin for hosting and to curator Lisa Jacobs-Watson for creating a space where Black history, representation, and imagination are celebrated.

This year’s theme, “Through the Eyes of Black Dolls: Our History Will Not Be Erased,” also reflects our work as artists and educators at the studio. Like Black dolls, our dancers affirm identity and claim space through movement and presence.

Sharing this moment with Lisa Jacobs-Watson and our Buffalo City Ballet dancers made the weekend even more meaningful. 🩰🖤

🎉🎊Celebrating 55 Years of Legacy, Excellence & Opportunity for All🎊🎉

This Black History Month hits different! Since being founded in 1976 we’ve operated on the belief that every child deserves access to classical ballet, regardless of background. For 55 years, we have challenged traditional perceptions of ballet by creating a space where Black dancers are seen, valued, and empowered in an art form where representation has not always existed.

Our studio is more than a place to dance. It’s a place where history lives on the walls, confidence is built in the studio, and young people are encouraged to dream big, work hard, and see themselves on stages where they were once an afterthought.

As we celebrate this milestone year, we invite families to become part of our legacy. Whether your child is just beginning or already passionate about dance, Buffalo City Ballet is a welcoming, inclusive community where artistry, discipline, and diversity thrive.

❄️ The weather outside may be frightful but reminiscing on this summertime joy is so delightful☀️🩰

This moment was captured during the 2014 Juneteenth of Buffalo, a festival rooted in culture, history, and community, celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year! 🎊🎉 🤝

Those values align deeply with our mission. For 55 years, we have provided accessible, high-quality pre-professional dance training for all, using dance as a tool for expression, education, and connection.

From summer festivals to winter stages, our work is grounded in the belief that movement can honor the past, empower the present, and shape the future.

🎉 And yes, we’ll see you at Juneteenth Fest this year too.

Drop a memory, tag a friend, & share as celebrate 55 years of Buffalo City Ballet and keep Buffalo arts moving forward. 🩰🥳🎊🎭
