In our 30 year history, Boca Ballet Theatre has established itself as a cornerstone of south Florida’s artistic community, supporting thousands of young people by exposing future generations to the performing arts and cultivating tomorrow’s leaders through exceptional year-round programming. Headlined by professional dancers who impact and inspire our students, our professional-quality performances bring full-length ballet classics our community, allowing us to preserve and share a living archive of art.

Community members are seeking the escape, solace, and transcendence that dance can offer, and we want to ensure that we will be here after the epidemic ends, allowing the community to come together and heal through this moving art form.
