Dance Alive National Ballet (DANB) brings a long-standing tradition of artistic excellence to Gainesville and beyond. Founded in 1966 as the Gainesville Civic Ballet, the company later became Dance Alive National Ballet, shaping a regional and national footprint through classical and contemporary works. Led by founder and Artistic Director Kim Tuttle since 1986, with Choreographer-in-Residence Judy Skinner, DANB blends technical prowess with expressive storytelling, touring across Florida and internationally. The company regularly collaborates with the University of Florida Symphony Orchestra and UF Concert Choir to create immersive, live-performance experiences for audiences of all ages.

As a trusted part of Florida’s cultural landscape, DANB has been on the State Touring Roster for 40 consecutive years, extending its reach to 17 states, 47 Florida counties, and international destinations. Notable engagements have included command performances for dignitaries, underscoring the company’s global artistic appeal. The Nutcracker remains a signature production with community involvement, while the company also presents contemporary works that push the boundaries of classical ballet.

Upcoming performances at the University of Florida Phillips Center in Gainesville will showcase DANB’s range—from large-scale classical ballets to fresh, narrative-driven pieces.
