Boulder Ballet’s vision is to be a leading arts organization celebrated for its excellence and inclusivity. We aspire to be a bold dance institution that creates a nurturing environment of artistic growth and builds a community of outstanding humans. The Boulder Ballet School (BBS) provides ballet training for all ages, pre-school through adult, in an atmosphere of creative excellence. As a professional-track ballet school, BBS challenges students dedicated to pursuing dance as a career but also welcomes those who dance purely for enjoyment.

The origins of Boulder Ballet began with the Ballet Arts Studios, founded in Denver and Boulder by former American Ballet Theatre dancer Larry Boyette in the 1970s.  In 1981 the Boulder studio was purchased by Barbara Demaree and Wanda Tierney.  The next year they started the first performing company, originally known as Boulder City Ballet.  In 1995, the company and school became known as Boulder Ballet.

Our rich history includes bringing classic, contemporary, and uniquely theatrical ballet to venues that range from Estes Park to Highlands Ranch. Boulder Ballet currently performs in Macky Auditorium, Vance Brand Auditorium, the Dairy ARTS Center, and outdoor amphitheaters in the Denver-metro area for our free summertime events.

Since its founding, the professional company has been led by several notable former dancers, including Miljenko Banovic (Zagreb Ballet), Robin Haig (Royal Ballet), John Prinz (American Ballet Theatre), Peter Davison, and Ana Claire. Current Artistic Director Lance Hardin is building on this strong tradition of excellence through innovation, programmatic growth, and attention to quality. Boulder Ballet now looks to an exciting future including additional collaborations with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra and the Longmont Symphony and new choreographic explorations.

The Boulder Ballet School (BBS) provides ballet/dance training for all ages and levels, pre-school through adult, beginner through professional, in a uniquely artistic and creative atmosphere.
