Patron Health and Safety Protocol
PATRON SAFETY IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY REVISED MARCH 4, 2022
The number one priority of Ballet Spartanburg remains the health and safety of our patrons, dancers, staff, faculty, volunteers and parents. We are committed to presenting live professional ballets with safety measures in place for our patrons this season. Governor McMasters has declared that South Carolina is no longer in a pandemic but an endemic and with the latest information data reflecting infection rates and hospitalizations, we feel these updated procedures will help to provide a safe patron experience.
We will continue to update our patrons on this website and through our "KNOW BEFORE YOU GO" link and emails.
Please take note of the following health and safety protocol:
- Masks are no longer required but are recommended to be worn in the lobby and theatre of Chapman Cultural Center and the Twichell Auditorium.
- Seating capacity is no longer limited in the theatre of the Chapman Cultural Center.
- Eat concessions outside or if eating inside, please try to space your group from others.
- Additional bathrooms are located in the other two buildings. If you see a line or if a bathroom is crowded, leave and go to another building during intermission.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
THANK YOU for working together to stay healthy and enjoy live ballet.

Education. Outreach. Performance.
The joyful picture above of children from Sidewalk Hope, an inner-city ministry in Spartanburg, captures the essence and innocence of joy, hope, and the connections that are created when we dance. Sidewalk Hope participated in the 2018 So You Think You Can Dance, Spartanburg! community event, a fundraiser in partnership with 10 local organizations. The picture above reflects opportunity, joy, happiness, dance and above all, who we are as an organization: education, outreach and performance.
The happiness in dancing on stage is reflected in this precious little dancer's eyes and body. Arms open, lights aglow, feet planted firmly on the stage, basking joyfully from a successful performance. This is the feeling we have as we anticipate returning to the stage this October with the premiere of Carlos Agudelo's, The Wizard of Oz. Ballet Spartanburg and its Board of Trustees and staff will monitor and adjust all health and safety precautions as directed by the CDC. We are ready to dance. We are ready to see our audience. We are ready.
Thank you for your continued love and support for 55 years. Onto our 56th season we go! Now follow the yellow brick road and grab your SEASON TICKETS TODAY!
