Redding City Ballet

Redding City Ballet was founded in 1997 as the first resident ballet company for Shasta County. It was awarded its nonprofit status in 2002.

Offering performances of the highest quality consistent with available resources, the company mission is to present classical, contemporary and innovative concert dance to a broad audience and to increase accessibility to the arts for the schools of the North State area through educational outreach programs, lectures and performances. 

Redding City Ballet began it’s Chance 2 Dance program in 2022, providing ballet training and performance opportunities for area children lacking the means to pursue quality training. The company’s beautifully staged, full-length production of The Nutcracker is a North State favorite and the only to feature all local dancers. Over the last two decades, company works have included Coppélia, Cinderella, Don Quixote, Gaité Parisienne, Fokine’s Dying Swan, Billy the Kid, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Carmen, The Sleeping Beauty,  and Alice in Wonderland.
