History and Location

Our studios are located on the top floor of 220 Broad Street, a newly renovated building in the heart of downtown Kingsport. This is a spacious facility, made possible by the fundraising efforts of the Parents Coalition and the generous donations of area businesses and individuals. Some of its best features include:
- Three mirrored dance studios, each with its own, large observation window (one way mirrors). Visitors are always welcome during class hours.
- Over 6,000 square feet of space, including junior and senior dressing rooms, spacious bathrooms, and a unique waiting/observation room.
- Our largest studio features 2,600 square feet of dance space. This studio doubles as a mini-theatre for use in teaching, in-house productions and is also available as a community performing arts venue. The mini theatre has high ceilings and exposed beams.
- All studios are covered in Marley flooring. Studios are located within a few yards of unique retail establishments

The Kingsport Ballet is a non-profit, 501-c-3, ballet school and dance company. It is the result of a merger between the State of Franklin Dance Alliance (SFDA) and the Kingsport Guild of Ballet (KGB). The KGB studio was purchased in 1999 by seven area volunteers called the Parents Coalition. Their goal was to preserve the standards and teaching quality with which the school was created. They launched a capital campaign and raised over $30,000 from the community to fund the renovations of the present studio. The two organizations making up the Kingsport Ballet have long been known for having a strong volunteer work force, which devotes many hours to everything from designing and creating costumes, administrative duties, carpentry work and backstage management, to comprehensive advertising campaigns.
