Richmond Ballet, The State Ballet of Virginia, has thrived as a dynamic home for the past, present, and future of dance since becoming a professional company in 1984. With a repertory that spans treasured 19th- and 20th-century masterpieces to more than 80 original works by contemporary choreographers from around the globe, the Ballet is known for both honoring tradition and advancing the art form.
