Atlanta Ballet
is a ballet company, located in Atlanta, Georgia. It is the nation’s longest continuously performing ballet company [1] and the State Ballet of Georgia.
Atlanta Ballet was founded in 1929 by Dorothy Alexander as the Dorothy Alexander Concert Group [2]. During the 1940s, the organization was known as the Atlanta Civic Ballet [3], with Dorothy Alexander acting as Director. In 1967, the Company gained professional status as Atlanta Ballet. Alexander guided her dance company for more than three decades before hand picking her successor, Robert Barnett. Current artistic director, John McFall, followed Barnett in 1994.
In 1996, Atlanta Ballet opened the Centre for Dance Education [4], with locations in Cobb, Buckhead, and Midtown Atlanta. The Centre educates students ages two through adult in various disciplines such as ballet, jazz, modern, tap, hip hop, Pilates, and flamenco. The Centre for Dance Education is dedicated to nurturing young dancers while providing an outlet for adults to express their creativity. With diverse class offerings and student population, the Centre serves over 150,000 people in metro Atlanta each year. Atlanta Ballet’s roots remain firmly grounded in the Atlanta community and continue to play a vital role in the city’s cultural growth and revitalization.
In April 2009, the Robert W. Woodruff foundation made a $1 million commitment toward the Atlanta Ballet’s $14.8 million campaign.
