Emerald Ballet Theatre

At Emerald Ballet Theatre, we nurture dancing hearts and hone bodies into instruments of strength and beauty. As a non-profit organization, our mission is to advance the arts through education, performance, outreach, and collaboration with other arts organizations.

We offer a wide range of services, including ballet performances, master classes, outreach programs, and ballet birthday parties. Our studio provides a nurturing environment where students can develop their technical, artistic, and creative skills. We believe that dance education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of socio-economic background, and therefore offer scholarships to support our students.

Our performances are a unique blend of timeless classics and original choreographic works, featuring talented international dancers, regional professionals, and live music. We strive to challenge, celebrate, and inspire our audiences, setting the standard for dance performance on the Eastside and beyond.

Our outreach programs take dance into the schools and the broader community, providing support for those who may not have been exposed to the arts before. We collaborate with other arts organizations to create interdisciplinary explorations, such as dance performed to live music, and students designing costumes and sets.

Our Philosophy

At Emerald Ballet Theatre, we believe that technical, artistic, and creative training is essential for dancers to reach their full potential. We focus on building strong roots through our comprehensive dance education, which enables our dancers to grow and flourish. We aim to instill in our students the confidence, discipline, and creativity needed to succeed not only in dance but also in life.
