Welcome to 

The mission of the Minnesota Ballet, through its company and school, is to preserve and advance the art of ballet, to increase access to ballet, and to use the Minnesota Ballet’s resources to serve the greater community.
Operational support for the Minnesota Ballet is made possible in part by a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, through an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Minnesota Ballet is funded in part by the McKnight Foundation, Thomas and Katherine Gibson Trust, A.H. Zeppa Family Foundation, Bush Foundation, Depot Foundation, Depot 506 Fund, Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation, Knight Foundation, Mead Witter Foundation Inc., Miller Dwan Foundation, Minnesota Power, Wildey Mitchell Family Foundation, Essentia Health. Minnesota Ballet is also supported by many businesses and individuals of our community.
This activity is made possible in part by a grant provided by the Minnesota State Arts Board, through an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature from the Minnesota arts and cultural heritage fund with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
