Recognized as a living national treasure since its founding in 1940, ABT annually tours the United States, performing for more than 600,000 people, and is the only major cultural institution to do so.


Boston Ballet

Boston Ballet

Boston Ballet, founded in 1963 by E. Virginia Williams, was the first professional repertory ballet company in New England. Under the leadership of Artistic Directors Violette Verdy (1980-1984), Bruce Marks (1985-1997), and Anna-Marie Holmes (1997-2000), the Ballet's national and international reputation has grown. The Company is now one of the major ballet companies in North America and among the top companies in the world.

The Summer Intensive Session is a highly-selective, audition-only program that immerses the aspiring dancer in a 2, 4 or 6 week intensive session of ballet. Only students from the ages of 9 to 21 may audition. During the Intensive, classes are conducted at Rock Centre Mondays through Fridays for all levels. Due to this intensive training, students attending the Summer Intensive often progress rapidly and increase their abilities significantly.
