Ballet Western Reserve

Excellence In Dance Education—At BWR, we engage students in a graduated level of study in classical ballet, modern dance and other styles to promote the development of a versatile dancer. Our program accommodates both the dance student seeking a pre-professional level of training and those seeking recreational dance education.

The Butler Institute of American Art

The Butler is unique among museums. It exists to collect and preserve works of art in all media that has been created by citizens of this country. From the crowning pieces of its permanent collection to the temporary exhibits, a walk through the Butler is a walk through American history. And what is most surprising about The Butler, is how the art jumps off the wall in this intimate setting.
