Alberta Ballet Community is one of three divisions of Alberta Ballet.

Alongside Alberta Ballet (the professional company) and Alberta Ballet School (professional training), these divisions advance artistry, education, and inclusion. Alberta Ballet Community’s initiatives aim to reach 50,000 youth annually by 2030 through accessible dance experiences and community partnerships.

Sharing the Story of Alberta Ballet Community

Alberta Ballet Community expands access to dance across Alberta through programs that remove social, geographic, and financial barriers to participation. From free after-school and in-school classes to ticket access programs in partnership with community agencies, our work connects thousands of children and families to the transformative power of movement each year.

As part of Alberta Ballet, one of Canada’s leading dance organizations, Alberta Ballet Community combines artistic excellence with meaningful community impact—creating stories of creativity, belonging, and resilience across the province.
