All programs and activities at Ballet Co.Laboratory fall within one of our three artistic principals to Co.Create, Co.Develop, and Co.Inspire. CO.CREATE
The Company of Ballet Co.Laboratory includes 9 professional dancers who perform classical and contemporary ballets highlighting athleticism, storytelling, and unique collaborations. Ballet Co.Laboratory is committed to creating new ballet works th
at expand on the many stories and life experiences that have not yet been shared on a major stage. Each season, the organization creates five productions and performs for 4,500 audience members throughout the Twin Cities. CO.DEVELOP
Learning the art of ballet and dance is a life-long journey, whether one is pursuing a professional career or simply the freedom to move. For this reason, Ballet Co.Laboratory offers ballet and movement classes for all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Throughout the 2020/21 school year, 195 students ranging in ages 3-87 explored the art of dance through a variety of classes. Dancers in our Pre-Professional are invited to perform alongside Company dancers in two productions each season. CO.INSPIRE
A crucial component of re-imagining ballet for the 21st-century is working to ensure ballet continues to expand in diversity and accessibility. Ballet Co.Laboratory invests in this work by bringing dance performances and workshops into underrepresented communities throughout Minnesota. Last season, 3,800 individuals experienced a free performance and/or dance workshop through this programming.
