The mission of the Lincoln Midwest Ballet Company is to promote excellence in the art of ballet through performances, education and community outreach.
The Lincoln Midwest Ballet Company (LMBC), a non-profit organization, was founded in 1989 with the merger of The Lincoln City Ballet, formed in 1979, and the Ballet Midwest Dance Company, formed in 1985. The two organizations joined to further their common vision of supporting and advancing ballet in Lincoln, Nebraska. As the founder of Ballet Midwest Dance Company, our Artistic Director, Shari True, was instrumental in the merger and creation of the Lincoln Midwest Ballet Company.
The opportunities provided by the Lincoln Midwest Ballet Company in the community are designed to teach and expose young people to the discipline and art of dance. Our annual production of The Nutcracker, includes professional dancers from around the nation and nearly 200 cast, apprentice and company dancers from the Lincoln area. Spring performances, camps/master classes and educational outreach are all strong components of LMBC.
Alumni of the Lincoln Midwest Ballet Company have been accepted into prestigious ballet programs, including the Boston Ballet Summer Workshop, Alonzo King Lines Program, Aspen Ballet West, Joffrey Ballet School, the St. Louis Ballet Summer Workshop, Butler University, the University of Utah, the University of Arizona and the Houston Ballet. Many LMBC dancers have gone on to careers as professional dancers throughout the nation.
