About MARIN BALLET

The history of Marin Ballet reflects the steady growth of Marin’s arts culture, the blossoming of regional dance schools across the United States, and ever-demanding educational and extracurricular expectations facing today’s youth. Marin Ballet remains vibrant and dynamic across decades of change due to its main assets: enthusiastic students of all ages, dance professionals dedicated to a standard of excellence, families and volunteers who value the arts, and ownership of a state-of-the-arts training and performance facility.

The Leona Norman School of Dance garnered community recognition in the 1950s and in 1963 was incorporated as the Marin Civic Ballet, a non-profit organization founded by Max and Phyllis Thelen. Mrs. Norman was a special guest at the Kirov Ballet’s annual graduation ceremonies, bringing back to Marin the highest standard of ballet training and performance of that era. Her dancers were recognized as an Honor Company in the fledgling Regional Dance America organization. In 1972, a visionary board of directors acquired the 100 Elm Street property for the school, and shortly thereafter the new Marin Center Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium offered a sophisticated theater for Marin Ballet’s annual Nutcracker performances.
