Founded by Miss Jan Collum in 1955, Tacoma City Ballet School and Professional Performing Company continue to provide the art of Classical Ballet to Tacoma and the South Puget Sound through the classical education of young artists and theatrical productions. Celebrating their 67th Season, Tacoma City Ballet continues to be intent on creating opportunities for our local community to access a classical ballet education and live performing arts experiences through classes provided by the Ballet School year-round, and excellent performances hosted by the Ballet Company in our local Pantages Theater, as well as in our spectacular Black Box Theater in the Merlino Art Center.
