Rhode Island’s ballet theatre
Rhode Island’s ballet theatre (RIbt) was a classical ballet company training talented young dancers for regional professional companies and college dance scholarships. The company’s goal was to help promising young dancers reach their full potential through a pre-professional training program consisting of weekly company class, a series of Master Classes, regular evaluation & feedback, learning experiences with leading professional ballet companies, and ongoing performance opportunities to enhance a dancer’s stage presence.
Please note, RIbt ceased operations in 2023, unfortunately another artistic venue negatively impacted by the Pandemic. This site is left up for historical reference purposes. Thank you to all the RIbt supporters for the 25 years of operation!
