Bakersfield City Ballet
Our City’s pre-professional ballet company.
OUR VISION IS TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY INSPIRED AND ENTERTAINED THROUGH THE ART OF BALLET.
We are Bakersfield’s premier pre-professional ballet company inspiring and enriching our community with performances and fostering a love for the arts in youth through dance. Our focus is on performing classical and contemporary ballet. BCB contributes to the development of Bakersfield’s rich culture by bringing the beauty of dance to more lives through annual performances.
BCB is unique in that we are not a dance studio, but a student company trainee program consisting of members who are dedicated to refining their ballet technique and polishing their artistry. We provide our members with the higher education and experience necessary to transition from studio training to a college dance program or professional career.
Bakersfield City Ballet's artistic faculty strives to further their education in the performing arts, and stay relevant in the ever-progressing styles and demands of dance while passing all knowledge onto company members. We believe the classical ballet technique as well as other styles of dance teach a person several important character-building traits, such as poise, self-confidence, accountability, and reliability.
As a non-profit organization, Bakersfield City Ballet relies on the generosity of our patrons and donors to continue to build a strong presence for dance and the arts in our community. We believe anyone should have access to the performing arts as a participant or patron, knowing that exposure in any capacity can leave one feeling inspired and awed.
