For more than 20 years, Twin Cities Ballet has been a place where people feel they belong—on stage, in the audience, and in a shared community shaped by movement and story. Our mission is simple: to make ballet accessible, relatable, and fun, and to connect communities through professional productions and educational outreach. Our original works—like The Wall: A Rock Ballet set to Pink Floyd and Narnia: The Ballet—alongside imaginative takes on classics like A Minnesota Nutcracker and Cinderella 1944, have inspired and engaged audiences across Minnesota.
You can helps us create original productions, sustain our company of professional artists, and provide meaningful opportunities for students and audiences alike. This isn’t abstract—your support directly funds performances that reach thousands, educational programs that engage young children, and inclusive initiatives like our sensory-friendly shows.
Just as important, it fuels inspiration. It gives a young dancer their first moment on stage. It gives an audience member a story that resonates. It keeps the arts vibrant and relevant in our community. You can support our work with a donation using the form on this page. For more information, please contact our Operations & Development Coordinator, Emily Winn, at development@twincitiesballet.org
Thank you for being part of a community that believes in the power of the arts to connect and inspire.

Our Volunteers
Twin Cities Ballet relies on the support of the amazing women and men who donate their valuable time to volunteer for us. With over 200 volunteers, TCB is able to create our high-quality and professional productions, run educational outreaches, and bring dance and the arts to our community.
Our main volunteer organization, the “Friends of the Ballet” consists of 6 separate committees: Costume & Wardrobe, Hair & Makeup, Events, Props, Boutique, and Marketing & Communications. These committees consist of parents, grandparents, relatives, friends, and supporters who generously volunteer their time to sew, glue, prepare the flowers, organize, build and fix props, lay down the floor, etc.
Many thanks to our amazing volunteers!
