Inspire Audiences: Whether it moves audiences to tears or elation, we believe in ballet’s power to speak to the human spirit. Our supporters make it possible for us to showcase ballet’s best and brightest right here in Pittsburgh.
Position Students for Success: Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School scholarship programs keep the dream of dancing within reach for all aspiring students. We teach ballet, and ballet teaches invaluable life skills.
Enrich our City: The arts enliven our lives – and our community. With more than 50,000 tickets sold annually, PBT is proud to be part of the cultural fabric of one of America’s most livable cities.
Move More People in Our Community: From STEAM curriculum to adaptive dance for people with special needs, PBT education programs bring ballet into schools and neighborhoods to help people of all ages reap the mind-body benefits of dance.
