Dance classes in Cambridge, Massachusetts
Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre, founded in 1986 by artistic director Jose Mateo, is a non-profit ballet company and school marking its 40th anniversary season, with studios at 400 Harvard Street in Cambridge and 14 Cushing Avenue in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The professional company presents original ballets and new interpretations of classical works, including its own production of The Nutcracker, for which children audition each year. The school, running for more than 35 years, states that it has deliberately challenged ballet's tradition of exclusion and elitism in favour of a more inclusive, just and humanistic approach to expert training.
After 32 years of serving as sole choreographer for the ballet troupe he created, Director Jose Mateo is redefining his role within the broader mission of Ballet Theatre of Boston, Inc., (d/b/a Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre).
