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, an original, highly acclaimed full-length production of "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 over two thousand audience members each year. TCB also awards yearly Scholarships to eligible students, hosts an annual Summer Dance Festival that provides area schools and professionals an opportunity to perform together in a non-competitive atmosphere, and conducts Outreach and educational seminars and demonstrations in area schools. TCB also conducts an annual Two Week Summer Repertoire Program, offering student dancers a taste of what it is like to be in an actual dance company—pieces learned and rehearsed in the Program are then performed in the Twin Cities Summer Dance Festival.
TCB's rehearsal and administrative home is at the premier new facility 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. Performances are held at the state-of-the-art professional theater at Burnsville Performing Arts Center.
