Cincinnati Ballet's mission is to enrich, expand, and excel in the art of dance through high-caliber performances, a dedicated academy, and impactful education and community engagement initiatives.
The Cincinnati Ballet has a rich history that began in 1958 when it was chartered as the "Cincinnati Civic Ballet." The company's first performance took place in 1964, and it has since evolved into a premier ballet company in the region. The Cincinnati Ballet has undergone several name changes, first becoming the "Cincinnati Ballet Company" in 1968 and then simply "Cincinnati Ballet" in 1983. The company has been known for its diverse repertoire, including both classical masterworks and contemporary pieces. It has also been a pioneer in training young dancers, with the School of Cincinnati Ballet and the School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) serving as key educational institutions. The Cincinnati Ballet continues to be a significant force in the dance community, offering performances, education, and professional training.
