Welcome to Our 2025–2026 Season!

At Rise City Dance, each dancer is placed in a weekly schedule based on their level, including classes in ballet, jazz, hip hop, and contemporary. Optional Acro classes are also available on Sundays.

Throughout the season, RCD dancers have the opportunity to perform in a range of exciting productions, including fall and spring concerts, appearances at the High Museum, our Holiday Spectacular, and events like NYCDA Atlanta and the RDA Southeast Festival. Select dancers also perform in the annual Neighborhood Ballet Recital.

Burning bright futures in dance and beyond.

Rise City Dance is a youth, pre-professional dance company in the heart of Atlanta. We exist to cultivate the innate artistry and passion that exists within every one of our dancers.

Holiday Spectacular: Nutcracker Dreams

Save the Date: Sunday, November 23, 2025 Ferst Center for the Arts, Georgia Tech Rise City Dance presents Holiday Spectacular: Nutcracker Dreams—a two-act holiday celebration blending imagination, movement, and magic. The journey begins with Flying Home, a spirited musical theatre piece capturing the energy of coming together for the holidays. In Act II, the stage transforms into the sparkling world of Land of the Sweets, where peppermint twirls, marzipan dancers, and the Sugar Plum Fairy reigns supreme. This isn’t your typical Nutcracker. It’s a new tradition—told through rhythm, joy, and the wide-eyed wonder of the season. Tickets available soon via the Georgia Tech Box Office and Rise City Dance channels.
