Ballet Victoria

Founded in 2002, Ballet Victoria is a boutique professional ballet company with 12 dancers and four yearly productions. Our performances are dramatic, technically demanding, and often laced with humour. Come see one of our shows in our 2022-23 Season, in Kirk Hall or the Royal Theatre!

Mission Statement:

The mission of Ballet Victoria Society (Ballet Victoria and Ballet Victoria Conservatory) is:

1) To promote diverse, emerging and established Canadian dance talent in an inclusive and accessible environment

2) To educate the public on the value of dance in all communities

3) To provide seasons of professional performances

Ballet Victoria would like to acknowledge that our dance studio, office, and performance venues are located on the unceded Coast Salish territory of the Lkwungen (Esquimalt and Songhees) peoples. Ballet Victoria acknowledges and thanks the Lkwungen People for allowing us to live, work and play on their lands. We also give thanks to the ancestors, supernatural ones, hereditary leaders and matriarchs, creatures big and small for looking after the rich resources and cultural teachings of this beautiful land. We acknowledge our traditional hosts and honour their welcome and graciousness to the artists who share their artform here.
