 The
Ketchikan Theatre Ballet teaches dance to hundreds of students each year - ballet,
jazz, tap, and more. We present three major performances a year: An Evening of
Dance during the Festival of the North in February, the Spring Gala in May, and
the Nutcracker in December. KTB also collaborates with the Ketchikan
Area Arts and Humanities Council and First
City Players in sponsoring Gigglefeet Dance Festival in August.
Ketchikan
Theatre Ballet works closely with other community arts organizations and dance
schools in Southeast Alaska. KTB and First City Players purchased the Fireside
building in June 2009, enabling them to share space and resources. Both groups,
along with KAAHC, work closely to bring professional dance companies such as ,
Ailey
II, Paco Peña Flamenco
Dance Company, and Fly
Dance Company to Ketchikan to perform and give master classes to dancers in
the community. As
a part of the community wide Festival of the North
in February, KTB's "An Evening of Dance" features our senior and junior
company dancers and has included dance companies from other southeast communities.
Our annual Spring Gala performance in May showcases
all of our school's dancers, ages 4 through 18, giving each KTB dancer a chance
to shine. Our most popular performance is our presentation of the Christmas classic
The Nutcracker, performed each December featuring
our mid- to upper-level dancers and members of the community. For
