The St. Petersburg Ballet Company is the official company-in-residence at The Academy of Ballet Arts, a nonprofit dance studio based in St. Petersburg, Florida. As a performance extension of the Academy, the company provides serious ballet students with opportunities to refine their technique, gain stage experience, and grow as performing artists.

Rooted in the Academy’s mission to help each student express their individuality through movement, the St. Petersburg Ballet Company is committed to artistic excellence and accessibility. Dancers in the company showcase their work throughout the year at performances across the St. Petersburg area, including seasonal productions like The Nutcracker and an annual Spring Show.

These performances highlight the talent and dedication of ABA’s upper-level students while offering the local community a chance to experience high-quality, student-driven ballet productions. Participation in the company fosters discipline, creativity, and confidence—core values that align with the Academy’s educational philosophy.

By bringing classical and contemporary works to stages throughout St. Petersburg, the St. Petersburg Ballet Company plays an active role in supporting the city’s vibrant arts community, while offering young dancers a clear path to growth, performance experience, and artistic development.
