Columbia Ballet is dedicated to providing Mid-Missouri with exceptional dance education and accessible professional performances. Through our First Friday performances, we bring high-quality dance to the community free of charge, making the arts welcoming and accessible to all.

Our Academy offers top-tier training for dancers of all ages, and our DanceAbility program creates an inclusive, creative space for children and adults with diverse needs. This year, we also took exciting steps toward bringing a professional Nutcracker back to Columbia, sharing beloved excerpts and building toward a full production in the future.

As a nonprofit, we rely on supporters who believe that arts education and inclusion matter.
