ABOUT SAINT LOUIS BALLET

Saint Louis Ballet Company impacts the lives of tens of thousands of people through inspiring productions, world-class choreography, community outreach and arts education programs. Established in 1989, the company presents an annual season of 25-30 performances featuring classical, modern and contemporary ballet in the beautiful 1,600-seat, state-of-the art Touhill Performing Arts Center, Kirkwood Performing Arts Center, and at the intimate Grandel Theatre in Grand Center. Under the direction of former New York City principal ballet dancer Gen Horiuchi, Saint Louis Ballet is comprised of 20 professional dancers, many of whom completed training and apprentice programs elsewhere before winning a national audition to dance in St. Louis.

By producing classics such as "Swan Lake," "Coppelia," "Cinderella," "The Sleeping Beauty," "Giselle," "Romeo & Juliet," and "The Nutcracker," the company preserves the best of traditional classical ballet. In addition, Saint Louis Ballet is firmly committed to the future of the art form, and to that end, we regularly commission new works by established and emerging choreographers. We also produce and exclusively represent the works of modern choreographic masters George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp, Amy Seiwert, Christopher d'Amboise, Peter Martins, Brian Enos, Tom Gold, and Gerald Arpino for St. Louis audiences. We are excited for the 24-25 season to bring Justin Peck, Jerome Robbins and Christopher Wheeldon!

Saint Louis Ballet's commitment to arts education and cultural literacy is embodied in a number of programs, including Ballet Resources For Teachers, which provides online resources and free access to SLB online performance sand, and Pointe to Succeed, our free ticketing program which brings Title 1 schools to the Touhill for free access to live ballet performances. This past December we welcomed over 500 Title 1 students. We are committed to providing access and promoting participation in this beautiful and inspiring art form.
