The Dayton Ballet is a ballet company based in Dayton, Ohio.
The Dayton Ballet was founded in 1937, making it the second oldest regional ballet company in the United States. Dayton Ballet seasons typically comprise four works—familiar traditional ballets, such as The Nutcracker, as well as new and innovative works—and over 40 performances.
The Dayton Ballet performs in the historic 1,139-seat Victoria Theatre (Dayton, Ohio) and the 2,300-seat Schuster Performing Arts Center.
Part of the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance, which also oversees the Dayton Opera and the Dayton Philharmonic, the ballet receives administrative and operational leadership and support from its parent organization. Karen Russo Burke has been the Artistic Director of the Dayton Ballet since 2011.
