Now celebrating its 49th Year, NBT continues to bring the Las Vegas community closer to the art form of dance. With professional Company productions at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, where it is the Resident Ballet Company, an affiliated Ballet and Dance Academy, as well as numerous Community Education programs, NBT is at the heart of Las Vegas' cultural landscape.
The vision of a professional ballet company based in Las Vegas was brought to life in 1972 when Vassili Sulich, then the principal dancer with the Tropicana Hotel and Casino's famed Folies Bergere, gathered a group of ballet dancers from the Las Vegas Boulevard entertainment industry and presented a series of dance concerts to an enthusiastic public at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) Performing Arts Center's Judy Bayley Theatre.

I want to say that my kid had a great Teacher, but...... today is observation day and if I knew my kid was so bad at following directions or basic indications well I least I wish the teacher or the personal let me know how bad she was doing! so I don’t keep coming! This place is not cheap, 3 to 4 months is enough to see at least an evolution on her performance since the first day!

We have been attending and enjoying NBT performances for years, but now that there are rumors on social media that the shows won't employ a live orchestra anymore, we'll rather skip NBT. If they save on production cost, we will just fly elsewhere for a great show. If the orchestra comes back, I'll change my rating to 5-star. Yes, it is a big difference in experience.
