The Alameda Civic Ballet, along with its affiliate school, Alameda Ballet Academy, was founded in 2003 by the Artistic Director, Abra Rudisill. The goal of the company is to create and present quality community accessible ballet performances, while providing young dancers the opportunity to gain valuable experience performing alongside professional dancers.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Ms. Rudisill began dancing at the age of six. She was formally trained at Ballet Del Monte Sol in Santa Fe New Mexico under the direction of Louise Licklider, a former New York City Ballet dancer. At the age of 16, after working with guest teachers Alexander Minz, Anna Marie, and David Holmes, she pursued a career as a professional dancer.
