Founded in 1960 by Iris Hensley, Georgia Ballet began as a community-driven initiative.
At The Georgia Ballet, our mission is to inspire and engage the community through exceptional ballet performances while providing unparalleled training and engagement opportunities in the performing arts. We envision a world where the beauty of dance touches lives and cultivates a lifelong appreciation for the arts. Rooted in classical ballet, we strive to nurture talent and uplift audiences through the passionate artistry of our diverse dancers.
