Little Ballet Theater Inc.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Since 1974, Little Ballet
Theatre, Inc. (LBT) has
provided grants for dancers
wishing to attend master
classes, and summer
intensives. Proceeds from the
Nutcracker and other events
sponsored by LBT, plus
generous sponsors have
allowed not only dance study
grants, but also academic
grants for graduating seniors.
Little Ballet Theatre is a
503 (C) (3) nonprofit
corporation and is recognized by the Oregon Cultural Trust. Little Ballet Theatre is governed by a 15
member board of directors.
Each spring, LBT’s dance company members perform his or her own choreographed dance at the Young
Choreographer’s Showcase at the Liberty Theater. Each summer, LBT sponsors the North Coast Summer
Dance Camp, providing guest instructors from major dance companies and company affiliated schools, and
inviting students from the Pacific Northwest.
The annual gala holiday production of the Nutcracker ballet, including professional guest artists, over 75
local dancers, nearly as many volunteer staff, and a professional 50-piece orchestra has been featured
nationally by NBC’s Today Show and has been invited to perform in Pendleton with the Oregon East
Symphony. The three traditional holiday performances are the jewel of North Coast holiday events.
Four levels of the LBT company members - Senior, Junior, Apprentice and Aspirant - are selected based on
their skill levels, self-discipline and dedication, attendance, participation in enrichment classes and events.
