About Ballet Santa Barbara

Ballet Santa Barbara is committed to professional dance education for children, youth and adults. We provide mentoring for each individual to achieve his or her full potential. Our professional performing company, BSB, bridges talented students into professional ballet careers and presents world-class artistic productions in Santa Barbara and on tour.

The Professional Company

Ballet Santa Barbara delivers the excitement of contemporary classicism featuring programs of striking original works, live music, and artistic diversity. We present the finest local dancers, musicians, designers and guest artists.

Education

Our instructional programs reach into all strata of our community. We offer adult classes in ballet and modern dance year-round. For three years our Annual Summer Dance Intensive has attracted serious young dancers from the community and beyond. We offer scholarships to talented, deserving students. With the generous support of the community, we can anticipate the founding of the BSB School by Fall, 2008!

Community Service

We offer seniors and students discounted and subsidized tickets to BSB performances and we participate in local events such as Fiesta. With an ever-growing community presence, we encourage involvement in both dance and music as it deepens and enhances a positive connection to the self, the community and the world.
