We use the power of the Arts and Entertainment to enrich the lives of others. Southern Ballet Theatre strives to inspire, to educate, to entertain, and to enrich lives through the performing arts. Dance is a universal language, you do not have to speak one word or phrase to evoke happiness, sadness, meaning, and inspiration. We continually strive to reach all demographic types, exposing them to the art of dance and performance.
