Minnesota Ballet Theatre is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) performing art-educational dance company created to provide culture, music, and dance education for the Twin Cities area with the intent to prepare dancers of all ages to perform in professional productions of the classical ballet, contemporary and modern repertoire.
Minnesota Ballet Theatre was founded in 2014 by Svetlana Gavrilova and Kirill Bak-Stepanoff, both graduates of Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia. Company's debut, The Nutcracker, an authentically Russian classical ballet set to Tchaikovsky’s timeless music and the original Marius Petipa choreography, is staged every year for the winter Holiday Season. Other productions, such as Peter and the Wolf, Carnival of the Animals, Great Halloween Adventure, Paquita and Les Sylphides (Chopiniana) are also part of MBT's repertoire.
As a part of Minnesota’s performing arts community, The Minnesota Ballet Theatre relies on the generosity, loyalty and financial support of our donors. Every dollar contributed makes a difference to help us present the finest repertoire, to the widest possible audience. Minnesota Ballet Theatre seeks to share the joy of dance, as well as to enhance a position as a first class dance company, while being committed to artistic excellence and innovation.
