Redding City Ballet was founded in 1993 as the first resident ballet company for Shasta County. It was awarded its nonprofit status in 2002.

Offering performances of the highest quality consistent with available resources, the company mission is to present classical, contemporary and innovative concert dance to a broad audience and to increase accessibility to the arts for the schools of the North State area through educational outreach programs, lectures and performances.

The company’s beautifully staged, full-length production of The Nutcracker is a North State favorite and the only to feature all local dancers. Over the last twelve years, company works have included Cinderella, Don Quixote, Gaite Parisienne, Fokine’s Dying Swan, Billy the Kid, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Carmen and The Sleeping Beauty. If you haven’t seen Redding City Ballet in concert, it’s time to!
