The Springfield Ballet Company (SBC) was created in 1975 by the merger of two local dance companies: Copper Coin Ballet and Ballet Concert Group. The Company consists of 22 Company dancers, 22 trainees, a community-based volunteer 12-member Board of Directors, and a staff consisting of Julie Ratz, Artistic Director; Gina DeCroix Russell, Associate Artistic Director; Scott F. Raper, Development Director; and a contractual wardrobe supervisor.
The Company's diversity is evident in its repertory programs, which feature classical ballet, contemporary ballet, jazz, modern, tap, theatre, and character, with three major and several minor performances each season.
