Michigan Ballet Theatre is incorporated as a nonprofit organization. It is a student company of exceptionally talented dancers representing the advanced dancers of the Rochester School of Dance and Cornelia's School of Dance as well as dancers drawn from an open audition. The Company's purpose is to develop the technical and artistic skills required of dancers seeking a professional career and to present quality full scale dance productions. As resident company, we hope to partially fulfill the demand for cultural enrichment in Michigan and give our talented youth the opportunity to perform and grow through dance. The Company performs several times per year. In addition to regular performances with local symphonies and an annual performance of the Nutcracker, MBT offers lecture demonstrations for public and private schools and performs for civic and cultural organizations. Participation in MBT is by audition or invitation by the Artistic Director. Follow the link to learn more about Michigan Ballet Theatre.
