Moving Beyond
Expectations
For over 45 years, Ballet Pensacola has proudly continued to be a pillar of the arts community in Pensacola. Throughout our history we have made it through cutbacks in funding from the State of Florida, countless hurricanes, and the unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Never before in our history have we been told to expect no funding from the State of Florida.
This month (June 2024), Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed approximately $1.2 million for arts and culture funding for organization in Northwest Florida and over $32 million in funding for arts and culture in the State of Florida as a whole.
It is important now, more than ever, to show support to your local arts and culture organizations!
Enhancing the cultural life of our community through excellent dance training and quality dance performances. Ballet Pensacola presents four major productions each season: a fall show, The Nutcracker in December, a winter show, and a spring show.
Along with the three major productions, Ballet Pensacola gets involved with the community by performing in schools, area festivals, and special events.
The Ballet Pensacola Academy students have the opportunity to perform with the professional company, and the students have their own Academy Student Showcase at the end of the school year.
As Pensacola’s resident professional dance company, Ballet Pensacola is known for its high artistic quality and innovative productions showcasing classical and contemporary choreography.
Performances are offered at various venues throughout the Pensacola community, including the Saenger Theatre and the Clark Family Cultural Center.
Registration for the 2024-2025 classes are open! Our dance classes are open to all students meeting minimum age requirements. We accept students without regard to sex. race, religion, national origin, or disability.
