Louisville Ballet

​Louisville Ballet, led by artistic director Anthony Krutzkamp and chief executive officer Leslie Smart, is an evolved but accessible ballet company committed to boldly and beautifully communicating artistic stories both classic and new. We exist to move, to evoke emotion, to provoke thought, and to challenge perceptions. We are artists, athletes, activists, inventors, and inspirers. Louisville Ballet has been one of the nation’s leading regional ballet companies since 1952. As the Official State Ballet of Kentucky, Louisville Ballet has worked with some of ballet’s brightest lights, performed for tens of thousands of people, and reached over 40,000 school children throughout the commonwealth with educational programs annually.

Our mission is to inspire, engage, and educate the community through moving art.

Louisville Ballet provides community engagement programming through a wide range of in-school residencies, performance assemblies, after-school workshops, student matinees, adaptive dance programs, audience engagement initiatives, scholarship opportunities, and virtual programming. 

Louisville Ballet is committed to serving our community and providing access to the art of ballet. Through our myriad of programs and initiatives, we share the artistry of ballet with over 40,000 people in our community on an annual basis.​
