Richmond Ballet

Come see why audiences return again and again to the artistry and athleticism of the Richmond Ballet.

After its founding in 1957, Richmond Ballet became the first professional ballet company in Virginia in 1984 and was designated the state ballet of Virginia in 1990 by then Governor Douglas Wilder. In pursuing its mission "to awaken and uplift the human spirit," Richmond Ballet has become one of Richmond's most respected arts and educational institutions and has gained national recognition as one of the country's premiere touring dance organizations.
