Richmond Ballet began in 1957 as a performance outlet for local dance enthusiasts. By 1984, the company had gained full professional status, becoming the first professional ballet company in the Commonwealth of Virginia. They give over 50 performances of six productions each year and draw from a repertoire that includes a range of classic story ballets, some 20th century works, and regular commissions from contemporary ballet choreographers.
