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.
