California Ballet Company

California Ballet presents high quality professional ballet performances and educational programs for the public community of California, through support of a resident company of professional dancers.

From its inception in 1968, California Ballet Company has been a fertile ground for the re-staging of the demanding classics and for the creation of its own trail-blazing works. Later on, the CBC bestowed on emerging young choreographers, many from San Diego, an opportunity to create and to develop through the company their own personal dance statements. In addition, the CBC has influenced, nurtured and enriched the lives of generations of committed dancers, many of whom are now performing across four continents.

CBC has recently expanded its Sharing the Art Program to include Nutcracker Connect. These programs allow children with life threatening diseases, military families, autism and other people with sensory, intellectual, or developmental disabilities, and numerous other previously underserved groups to enjoy the live arts.
