West Coast Swing Classes at MBC!
Instructor Tim Edgar’s Ballroom 101 is now West Coast Swing! This dance is a smooth, elastic partner dance performed in a line as opposed to a circle. Unlike other swing dances, it has no heavy bouncing action; the movement is compact and grounded.
Thursdays
From 7 to 8 p.m. learn foundational footwork, followed by one hour of open dance to practice your new skills. Open to ages 15 and above, bring a partner or join solo. No dance experience is required.

Consider this your warning: ballet is about to get haunting. 🖤
MBC’s Un/Dead & Un/Forgiven brings three supernatural worlds to the stage: the world premiere of Sasha Janes’ The Raven, the gothic drama of Dracula, and the haunting beauty of Giselle, Act II.
Beautiful. Unsettling. And just in time for Halloween.
Step into the shadows with us… if you dare.

Last week, acclaimed choreographer Sasha Janes joined MBC to begin creating the world premiere of The Raven, and we’re giving you a sneak peek at what’s taking shape.
Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s haunting poem, Janes’ new work explores grief, memory, obsession, and what happens when our inability to let go begins to distort reality.
“I am thrilled to explore these themes through movement and glorious music,” says Janes.
An Australian-born choreographer known for his musicality, theatricality, and narrative storytelling, Janes is currently Professor of Music in Ballet at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music and Artistic Director of Chautauqua Dance.
The Raven opens Un/Dead & Un/Forgiven, an evening that travels deeper into the shadows with Dracula and Act II of Giselle.

The cast is announced, and the magic is beginning! ✨
Thank you to every dancer who auditioned for MBC’s 43rd Annual Nutcracker last weekend. We loved seeing your energy, courage, and joy in the studio. Congratulations to our new cast: we can’t wait to get to work!
This season brings four Bozeman performances with the Bozeman Symphony, a Great Falls performance with the Great Falls Symphony, and a second Big Sky performance.
That’s seven opportunities to catch the Gallatin Valley’s original Nutcracker - a beloved holiday tradition for more than 40 years.
We’ll see you in December!

Mission
Our Mission
Montana Ballet Company cultivates dance experiences for everyone—in the studio, on stage, and in the community.
From Mountains to the Studio
Step into the world of ballet and discover your potential.
Confidence that lasts beyond the studio — dance builds discipline, focus, and poise that carry into school, friendships, and life.
Training for every age and every goal — from first steps at age 2 to serious pre-professional work, taught by professional company faculty.
A real artistic home — students perform on real stages, alongside the Company, in a supportive community that grows with them.
Rigor you can trust — the same training that has prepared dancers for top summer programs nationwide, offered right here in Bozeman.
