Montgomery is the second largest city in Alabama with a population of 201,568 according to the 2000 census. The city, which was incorporated in 1819, is located southeast of the center of the state on the Alabama River. Montgomery is known for its renaissance of historic downtown and redevelopment of the riverfront. The Montgomery Ballet has been part of the River Region's cultural landscape since 1958, and we enjoy a rich relationship with the city and far beyond. Come dance with us!
