“to excite, enrich, and entertain its diverse audience through an imaginative presentation of quality classical and contemporary dance.”

San Diego Ballet fulfills its mission by offering a variety of community programs. Alongside its full season of productions, SDB reaches further into the community by providing programs for youth and adults. These include artistic residencies in schools, field trips to productions, free weekly classes at a community library in San Diego most diverse yet economically disadvantaged neighborhood, workshops, master classes, and a non-gender based series of social dance partnering lessons taught at the San Diego LGBT Center.
