About THE PENNSYLVANIA BALLET
Philadelphia Ballet’s mission is to cultivate an enduring appreciation for dance through world-class performances, to inspire the next generation with exceptional education and professional training, and to connect with the community through meaningful and inclusive programming.Our History
The company, founded in 1963 by George Balanchine's protégée, Barbara Weisberger, was established through a Ford Foundation initiative to develop regional professional dance companies. Originally named Pennsylvania Ballet, the company performed in the national spotlight for the first time in 1968 at New York City Center. This highly successful debut led to the company’s first performance of The Nutcracker (with a second act by George Balanchine) in 1968, as well as appearances on PBS’s acclaimed “Dance in America” series in 1977, and a decade of touring dates, including the company’s Kennedy Center debut in 1979.
