It was an exciting night as the former North Carolina Dance Theatre (NCDT) became Charlotte Ballet and the group got to perform a work by acclaimed choreographer Jiri Kylian for the first time.
The main performance was Othello by Dwight Rhoden, but both were so visual that I decided to break them into two posts. (Those images will follow soon.)
The new name comes with new branding and the website is set to launch on Monday.
Congratulations Charlotte Ballet!
