About IBT
Committed to the preservation of classical ballet repertoire by presenting authentic productions that reflect traditional as well as original choreography, IBT stands as the premiere ballet company of the Eastside. Featuring elegant costumes, vivid sets, and a touch of magic, all performances are richly entertaining for audiences of all ages. Combined with beautiful performances by guest artists from the world's leading ballet companies, such as the Royal Ballet, The Mariinsky Theatre, Houston Ballet, and the Joffrey Ballet, our productions are revered by audiences as some of the best in the Northwest.
Our mission is to enrich the lives of children and adults in our community with performances that inspire imagination and an appreciation of the performing arts through the creativity and beauty of dance. We constantly strive to achieve a level of quality and beauty that is necessary for such art to flourish. When merged with our core philosophy of family, our productions provide entertainment and cultural enrichment that the entire family can enjoy and cherish. Adding in a sophisticated repertoire, IBT productions are able to connect with an audience in a way that few companies can achieve.
