Congratulations: Our
Most Successful Nutcracker Yet!

Thank You to all the dancers, volunteers, parents, staff, family and friends for help making Twin Cities Ballet of Minnesota's annual production of Denise Vogt'sThe Nutcracker at Burnsville Performing Arts Center a huge success. 

Approximately 4700 people

saw the show this year at

BPAC (including the elementary and Special Ed matinee), and

the response from the

audiences was overwhelmingly positive. The following week almost 10,000 people saw dancers from Ballet Royale Minnesota and Twin Cities Ballet perform excerpts from the Nutcracker, with live

accompaniment by the MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA.  Great Fun!

Save The Date:

TCB proudly announces the return of its original

full-length production of

Twin Cities Ballet of Minnesota

Welcome to Twin Cities Ballet of Minnesota (formerly Lakeville City Ballet)! Twin Cities Ballet of Minnesota ("TCB") is an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit semi-professional dance company that draws its dancers from area professional dance companies, dance schools, and community residents.

TCB strives to introduce the artistry, discipline and athleticism of ballet and other dance forms to Minnesota communities, through performances, educational and interactive programs, Scholarship Awards, and collaborative artistic events. Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and driven by the energy and efforts of dedicated parents, students, volunteers and community sponsors, TCB continues to develop a variety of community outreach initiatives, including working with other arts organizations and schools, and to offer both its participants and audiences the opportunity to experience the enriching world of dance.

Its inaugural performance, the original, highly acclaimed full-length production of Denise Vogt's "The Nutcracker" ballet, was presented to full houses in December 2003. TCB has performed its flagship performance of The Nutcracker annually since its inception, seen by thousands of audience members each year. TCB also awards annual Scholarships to eligible students, hosts an annual Summer Dance Festival, conducts outreach and educational seminars and demonstrations in area schools, and conducts Summer Repertoire Workshops.

TCB's rehearsal and administrative home is at the state-of-the-art facilities of Ballet Royale Minnesota, the first and only dedicated classical ballet academy south of the Minnesota River, located on the border of Lakeville and Burnsville, in the heart of the Minneapolis/St. Paul south metro area. TCB is the resident dance company of, and performances are held at, the south metro's premier professional theater at Burnsville Performing Arts Center.
