Kansas City Ballet is located in the Todd Bolender Center for Dance & Creativity, found on the west edge of the Union Station campus in the heart of downtown Kansas City and the vibrant Crossroads Arts District. The Bolender Center includes the Michael and Ginger Frost Studio Theater.
-
There is not a dress code. Most people consider a performance by the Kansas City Ballet to be a special event and tend to dress for the occasion, but wearing what makes you comfortable while attending the performance is up to you. Many people are dressed in comfortable business casual. Formal dress – evening gowns and tuxedos – are generally only worn to gala Ballet events.
-
All patrons, including children on laps, entering the theater must have a ticket. At Kansas City Ballet, we encourage young audiences to attend our shows (assuming the program content is appropriate). However, it is strongly suggested that no babies or toddlers be in attendance. Many children over the age of five can remain happily and quietly seated for a two-hour performance, but you know your child best. Parents will be expected to immediately remove children creating a disturbance during the performance. Patrons may return to their seats during intermission.
