Experience the beauty of ballet and the power of a great story. Through our art, Ballet Kalamazoo will lead your dancer on a journey through some of our most beloved stories.

But not the tired old stories you’ve seen over and over! 

How do we do it?  Ballet Kalamazoo takes a classic tale and performs it with our own unique twist. It’s a wonderful collaboration as we listen to our dancers’ perspectives and truly see the story through their eyes. 

The result? Ballet Kalamazoo’s performances are a shared vision full of heart and connection.  Working as a team, we create performances that are modern and infinitely more magical. 

Don't walk, DANCE through this year!

Diversity en pointe

Hello Beautiful. We see you.

​Diversity En Pointe is a scholarship program to support young, aspiring dancers to transform their passion for dance into a REALITY. Through Diversity En Pointe, our goal is to create opportunity and accessibility to reach dancers that might not believe that dance classes are an option for them and their families.
 
All children should be empowered to follow their dreams, wherever those dreams take them. Diversity in dance makes our Arts community more beautiful, balanced and a true representation of our vibrant world. Let’s work together to make our world better and give children of all backgrounds equal footing in the wonderful world of dance!
 
Dance is for everyone and Diversity En Pointe makes that a reality.
