The Circus That Lives On
Sole City Dance’s newest production taking the Rochester Opera House stage in April of 2027!
An uplifting and inspiring adventure ballet based on the true story of the Althoff family who took in a Jewish family, the Danner’s, during World War 2 in Germany. The Althoffs risked everything and hid the Danner family in full sight for five years-in the middle of their traveling circus. The Althoffs were awarded the Israeli honor, Righteous Among the Nations, for their heroism and courage. A ballet filled with love and bravery, energetic circus scenes, swing dancing and classic 1940’s hits, and a powerful, emotional story that inspires us to live our own life full of humanity and kindness.
“We circus people see no difference between races or religions. I have only done my duty and protected the human beings that were entrusted to us.” -Adolf Althoff
The shows will take place at the Rochester Opera House on Friday, April 2nd at 7pm and Saturday, April 3rd at 1pm and 6pm.

Additional Sole City Dance Productions not taking the stage during our 2026-2027 Season
Treasure Island
What could pirates and ballet possibly have in common? Answer: a great story. See for yourself how Sole City Dance's adaption of "Treasure Island", replete with intrigue and romance, mermaids and treasure, as well as a cast of memorable characters, brings beauty and artistry to Stevenson's beloved adventure tale. With Sole City's characteristic attention to detail and theme, the story becomes more than a race for treasure. The ballet features characters learning to "treasure" the most important things in life.

The Moon-Spinners Mystery
Enjoy an adventure set on a modern-day Greek island with Sole City Dance’s newest production, The Moon-Spinners Mystery. The ballet follows Nikki, a young detective grieving the loss of her mother. To escape her sorrow, she travels to Greece where she makes friends, searches for a missing person, runs up against a group of nefarious smugglers, and meets a Greek schoolteacher with the most resourceful young students. All these lives weave in and out of each other in a story replete with love, loyalty, grief and joy. And behind the scenes, another group of characters is continually weaving, the three ancient fates, the moon-spinners, with their power to cut the cord of life.
