Indianapolis Ballet

With its official launch in January 2018, Indianapolis Ballet has returned professional ballet to Indiana’s capital as the first resident company based in the city in over a decade. The professional company includes talent from across the country – including several with ties to the Circle City – to perform in world-class productions. Indianapolis Ballet’s full artistic seasons will include fall, winter & spring productions at The Toby at Newfields, the company’s Official Residency Partner, the Indianapolis holiday tradition that is The Nutcracker at Old National Centre, and its annual New Works Showcases and IndyFringe Beyond Ballet series at The District Theatre – in addition to other appearances and events across the Indianapolis area.

Now in its 13th year, the Indianapolis School of Ballet – the official school of Indianapolis Ballet – continues to serve as Indiana’s premiere destination for professional dance instruction.  The internationally respected faculty and artistic staff – guided by Victoria Lyras, Founding Artistic Director of both the School and professional company – are dedicated to meeting the needs of their students and offering them exemplary training, inspiration and encouragement. ISB’s philosophy is that all students, whether they are professional aspirants, pre-schoolers or adults exploring the joys of dancing, will have the opportunity to reach their desired level of achievement.

The Indianapolis School of Ballet’s 36-week Fall/Spring school year offers three main programs: the Pre-Professional Program, the Young Children’s Program, and the Open Dance Program. In addition, the Summer Intensive, scheduled from mid-June to late July, offers various multi-week options for students of all ages and levels.
