Private times to receive from the closet can also be arranged during the week depending on to the dance organizer’s availability.
We emphasize safety here at the MND. Mask wearing is strongly encouraged, and courtesy to those choosing to mask is required. No discrimination to those wearing masks will be tolerated! In addition, this is a family and LGBTQ-friendly dance and a safe event for ALL races, ethnicities, genders, ages, shapes, and sizes. Accordingly, no discrimination, inappropriate sexually predatory behavior, racist or discriminatory comments, bullying, or verbal or physical abuse of ANY kind will be tolerated.

THE ERAS PARTY – A Taylor Swift Inspired Dance Party
DJ playing Taylor through her eras, costume contest, lipsync battle, themed photo areas, free koozie, bracelet trading, and more!
Dance Me is an exclusive creation inspired by the rich and profound work of Montreal-based poet, artist and songwriter, Leonard Cohen. Approved by Cohen during his lifetime, this riveting homage to the famed artist evokes the grand cycles of existence in five seasons, as described in Cohen’s deeply reflective music and poems.
Three internationally renowned choreographers were entrusted with putting movement to Cohen’s legendary songs: Andonis Foniadakis, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and Ihsan Rustem. Their powerful and profound choreographic world reflective of Cohen’s singular work is brought to life by 14 Ballets Jazz Montréal performing artists.
Surrounded by a team of celebrated designers, Dance Me combines scenic, visual, musical, dramaturgical, and choreographic writing to pay tribute to Montreal’s greatest ambassador. Dance, music, lighting, scenography, and videography all come together in this unforgettable show.
“Leonard Cohen’s art and soul shine on in this stirring tribute.”
– The Telegraph Review
“The beautiful technique and preciseness throughout the evening of excellence was so complimentary to Mr. Cohen’s visions and words, and gave voice to his beliefs and musings.”
– BroadwayWorld Review

Are you interested in doing business with Buncombe County or learning about outreach opportunities for your business?

The new portal will also make it easier for all vendors to access information to bid on contracts, get updates, manage contract information, view existing contracts, and more. Additionally, updated commodity codes will allow vendors to identify what goods and services they provide, allowing the County to better determine who to solicit and increase participation in the bidding process.
In an effort to continually increase the County’s commitment to equity, one of its 2025 Strategic Plan priorities, vendors can self-identify as a Woman/Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE) or Historically Under Utilized Business (HUB).

WinterWorks : An exciting evening of dance featuring Neo Classical and Contemporary
works performed by the Ballet Conservatory of Asheville’s celebrated Professional and
Pre-professional dancers.
We had a wonderful 2023 year at BCA celebrating our 15th year. Productions included
‘Winter Works’,’Giselle’, and sold out performances of ‘The Nutcracker’ at both
Western Carolina University’s Bardo Arts Center and the Wortham Theater.
We were also very proud to announce that five of our graduated BCA students started
their professional ballet careers in top ranked ballet companies in the US, American
Ballet Theater’s Studio Company, Miami City Ballet, Ballet Tucson and Carolina Ballet.
We are excited for 2024! This season we will present ‘WinterWorks’ 2024, the
beautiful ballet ‘Paquita’ in the Spring and we will return to WCU’s Bardo Arts Center
and the Wortham Theater for ‘The Nutcracker’ in December.
The Ballet Conservatory is proud to provide their students with the best daily
training and guidance. We’re committed to connect our students with world-class
professionals to help prepare them for the challenging demands of a professional
career.
