In 1988, Columbia City Ballet’s Artistic Director, William Starrett, and Prima Ballerina, Mariclare Miranda, embarked on an exciting and challenging new venture to bring new levels of excellence to dance training in Columbia. The two opened the Columbia Conservatory of Dance at 1545 Main Street at the intersection of Main and Taylor Streets and in the heart of downtown Columbia. Long before the Columbia Museum of Art and other organizations moved to Main Street, Starrett, and Miranda had the vision of transforming the city’s most prestigious street into an arts hub. Over the years, the Columbia Museum of Art and SC Philharmonic have joined the Columbia Conservatory of Dance, by establishing their presence on Main Street.
