Ballet des Moines

Through world-class training and performance opportunities for aspiring dancers, Ballet Des Moines is developing the next generation of professional dancers. Our annual production of The Nutcracker features more than 300 local dancers, ranging from young children experiencing their first time on stage to young adults who have trained for years aspiring to careers as professionals. We also provide opportunities for young dancers to observe, participate and interact with professionals in their daily work routine of class and rehearsals.
