“…it is wonderful to note
that Ballet with a capital B has definitely arrived back in
Syracuse.”

Table Hopping (Feb 2004 Swan Lake review)
Founded in 1997 by current Artistic Director
Kathleen Rathbun and a dedicated group of volunteers, Syracuse City Ballet, Inc. is the only professional ballet company serving
the Central New York community. We create family-oriented entertainment
while offering opportunities for local professional, pre-professional,
and student dancers to perform classical and premiere works with
national and international guest artists.
A vibrant arts community encourages collaboration,
instills local pride, draws people together, and is essential
to a community’s vitality. Syracuse City Ballet contributes
to the richness of Central New York’s cultural palette by
providing a “big city” ballet presence. Our growth
from a small grass-roots venture to a professional quality ballet
has secured ballet as a dance presence in Central New York.

Artistic Director
