Setting
The Minnesota Ballet makes its home in downtown Duluth, the air-conditioned city nestled along the shores of Lake Superior, home to many attractions, beaches, and quaint shopping districts.
Ballet Studio I & II
St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center
506 W. Michigan Street, Duluth
The School’s Studios I and II are located in the performing arts wing of the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center, known as “The Depot.” This historic building also houses a nationally known train museum and two other museums and stands just across the street from the public library and a stone’s throw from Bayfront Park and the Great Lakes Aquarium.
Ballet Studio III
Grain Exchange Adams Studio
8th floor, Board of Trade Building
301 W. First Street, Duluth
The Ballet’s headquarters and principal studio are in the Board of Trade Building, the top two floors that once housed the thriving Grain Exchange. The Ballet remodeled the historic site in 1999, retaining its elegant architecture reminiscent of the ballet salons of Europe.
Both quarters are within very easy walking distance of each other in the heart of Duluth’s downtown with its attractive shops, art studios, restaurants, the Lakewalk and other waterfront attractions.
