Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville was honored to be part of the celebration commemorating the 50th birthday of the Centennial Youth Ballet here in Nashville. To mark this event we illuminated the celebration in a wash of twinkling festival lights, because nothing provides more ambiance and tranquility than light alongside  the art of dance!

The Centennial Youth Ballet  is part of the Metro Parks Dance Division whose primary goal is education by offering the highest quality dance training possible in a supportive environment. Centennial Youth Ballet is the Dance Division’s primary performance group. Comprised of intermediate and advanced dancers ages 12-18, giving public performances twice each year. Including the Mini-Nutcracker and the Spring Concert. Centennial Youth Ballet will perform the Mini-Nutcracker Dec. 4-6 at Harpeth Hall School this year.
