Charlotte Ballet, rooted in North Carolina’s rich dance heritage, brings a compelling blend of classical technique and contemporary storytelling to audiences in Charlotte and beyond. Founded in 1970 as the North Carolina Dance Theatre and relocated to Charlotte in 1990, the company rebranded as Charlotte Ballet in 2014 to reflect its evolving artistic voice. Today, under the leadership of Artistic Director Alejandro Cerrudo (appointed 2022), the company presents five annual performance series in Charlotte and features about 27 professional dancers.
