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 school children throughout the commonwealth with educational programs annually. MISSION: To inspire, engage, and educate the community through moving art. VISION: To change lives through dance.
