Beauty Island-Alabama

Mobile Ballet is the Gulf Coast's premiere ballet company and school. This group of highly talented performers works hard all year long to bring you an impressive schedule of events. Among some of the ballet's most recent performances include Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Carnival of the Dance. Also, the Mobile Ballet School offers classes for aspiring dancers who range in age from 3-years-old to adults. When you are in the audience for one of the ballet's many performances, you will be immediately struck by not only the brilliant dancing but also the detailed sets and meticulous costumes.

Among the many cultural influences that have shaped Mobile's history, the African-American contribution is highly significant. That fact is rightfully celebrated at the National African-American Archives and Museum. This venue is designed to enrich visitors' understanding of the African-American experience through the use of many exhibits that feature such notable artifacts as the “Clotilde,” one of the last known slave ships, items that tell the story of home run king Hank Aaron as well as items that tell the stories of other famous figures.

Instead of seeing the sights like everyone else, set yourself apart as you become airborne for an unforgettable ride with the pros at Mobile Helicopter Charters .
