Garden City Ballet

Garden City Ballet — a nonprofit organization that exists because of parents who love their children, and children who love to dance.

Garden City Ballet is not a typical ballet company… we do not operate a dance school, or have a year-round season, or perform with a live orchestra.

Our nonprofit organization is truly unique — with an average cast size of more than 100 local dancers, two hired professional guests performing the lead roles of Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier, a dedicated volunteer board, one paid employee, a rotating artistic team of independent contractors, generous donors, and countless volunteer parents, we proudly bring The Nutcracker to life — year after year!

We serve our children and the Missoula community by:

• Honoring the traditions of classical ballet
• Fostering inclusiveness in the local dance community
• Operating fairly, transparently, and responsibly
• Building meaningful relationships
• Promoting mutual respect
• Creating a fun, supportive work environment
• Learning and growing as a professional, nonprofit organization
