As the official ballet representative for the state of Georgia, the Atlanta Ballet has been thriving. In 2019, it was announced that the group would embark on a national and international tour. Established in 1929, it has more than 80 years of a rich history that includes being a member of the community by helping to educate and teach the younger generations the beauty of dance, namely ballet. A live performance is a wonderful experience thanks to the creativity of the choreographers, the execution of movement by the dancers and the effects that tie everything together. Shows can be enjoyed during the season from September to April.
Many of the ballet companies situated on the east coast side of the United States have existed for several decades. Atlanta is not an exception. The Atlanta Ballet has entered its 90th season that is marked with thousands of performances and shows. Many of those shows have been classic ballet renditions of well-known stories and plays. Along the way, the group has also picked up original material that has showcased the entire resume of talent found within the company. Whether incorporating jazz or sticking to ballet, the performances have been impacting audiences in Atlanta and various tour locations. During the 2019-20 season, the troupe will be traveling to Prague thanks to a partnership it formed with the Czech National Ballet. In 2013, the group toured in Asia.
