Special Announcement: Greensboro Ballet has recently been accepted as a Member Company of the prestigious Regional Dance America - Southeast!
Greensboro Ballet was a member of Regional Dance America in the 1990's, eventually becoming an Honor Company and even hosting the Southeast Festival for two years. We ended our membership in 1998 as our organization shifted focus on other programming.
We attend the RDA National Festival this past April as guests and our dancers truly enjoyed all the master classes, performances, and other festivities.
We are honored to have been chosen as a member company once again and we're looking forward to all the learning, potential intensive & college scholarships, and performance opportunities this will give our dancers.
