Seventy years of dance. Every body welcome.
Tacoma City Ballet has been dedicated to providing after-school and summer dance education to the diverse youth of Tacoma for 70 years. TCB has also been offering Open Adult classes for the last five years and plans to bring Dance for Wellness to the senior residents of Tacoma in 2026. These programs are soundly supported by the organization, which has dedicated its most esteemed teachers to the effort. The community also continues to support the project by attending classes and contributing to the growth of adult dance opportunities in Tacoma.
With support from Community Arts Projects funding, Tacoma City Ballet (TCB) believes in teaching the technique and tradition of ballet and other dance forms in a supportive community that encourages both artistic and personal growth for all people of all ages. TCB believes that historical exclusion and marginalization due to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, economics, disability, or age, should not be a barrier to experiencing dance. To reduce the financial obstacle, they have been offering two Open Adult classes for free every week, the other three classes are low-cost at $10 per class, and their Dance for Wellness classes will be free of charge.
