Our mission is to promote the advancement of classical and contemporary dance by maintaining a performing company, presenting a high quality season, and providing both dance education and community outreach. The Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre (BRBT) stands in unity with the arts community and does not tolerate racism or injustice.
During these challenging times, we want to make it abundantly clear that BRBT supports black lives, equality, and inclusion. The arts, especially dance, allow freedom of expression and are for everyone to participate in and/or enjoy. We are proud to partner with the Manship Theatre at Shaw Center for Arts to host Philadanco! in Baton Rouge this Fall.

After a season of restrictions and multiple "pivots" to virtual programming, Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre couldn't be happier to return to a season of live and on-stage performances. This season promises to be an even more momentous one now that the dancers can return to their home stage for our spring performance of Rapunzel.
Make sure to have a seat when Rapunzel takes down her glorious hair! With original choreography by Rebecca Acosta and Jonna Cox, we are so excited to revive this community favorite for Baton Rouge audiences. Full of charm and romance, this production will appeal to the whole family. Premier seating and other benefits secured as a Full Season ticket holder or Storybook Season ticket holder.

From contemporary pieces to classical ballet, the depth and variety of the performances produced by the Baton Rouge Ballet Theater is outstanding. Baton Rouge is fortunate to have access to such talented dancers and artistry. Their work is a proud reminder of how the performing arts brings beauty and unity to our community. Thank you, BRBT.

I paid for my daughter's tap and ballet pictures this past season and was told to wait on reprints. Well I recently talked to Rachel who had me contact DK photography myself and apparently my second order form has just gone missing and they're trying to make me pay forpre pictures when I never received what i paid for. This place is not being ran right. Very disorganized and I believe their trying to scam me now. I'd give zero stars if I could.
