60th Anniversary  Book

Take the opportunity to view our 60th Anniversary Souvenir Book. The book highlights decades of performances, costumes, sets, ballets and dancers.

Company dancers had the opportunity to wear many of the handmade costumes from past ballets. These are displayed in eye popping color that shows the detail in the costumes.

You can also explore the State Ballet of Rhode Island’s “Historic Pointes” section that highlights accomplishments as far back as November 19, 1960. This is when the State Ballet of Rhode Island had it’s premiere performance in Rhode Island at Veterans Memorial Auditorium.

I’m very proud to say my daughter dances for The State Ballet of Rhode Island. Mrs. Marsden is a wonderful, strong woman who cares very much for each of her dancers. I couldn’t have asked for better role models for my daughters.
