Your investment in the arts makes a difference
For over 42 years, Montana Ballet Company has been a centerpiece of creativity in Bozeman, MT. Your investment sustains our work in the studio, on the stage, and in the community, guided by our core values:
Culture of Belonging. We create a welcoming, safe space where everyone—dancers, families, and patrons—feels supported, valued, and free to fully engage in the art of dance.
Whole-Person Care. We nurture the mental, physical, and emotional well-being of our dancers, empowering them to grow with confidence, find their voices, and advocate for themselves.
Excellence with Compassion. We are committed to high-quality training and performances, meeting dancers where they are and inspiring growth with care, balance, and respect.
Relevance & Evolution. We embrace change, stay responsive to the world around us, and strive to keep our work fresh, reflective, and meaningful while being grounded in and learning from the history and traditions of dance.
Integrity & Stewardship. We operate with honesty and accountability, ensuring the thoughtful use of resources to build a sustainable, evolving organization that will thrive for generations.

Discover Dance
Montana Ballet Company engages over 2,000 first and second graders from Bozeman and surrounding school districts in a substantial, content-rich dance performance experience, filled with learning and doing. Montana Ballet Company’s Discover Dance program is a comprehensive educational experience encompassing pre-performance classroom-based learning, an interactive theater-based experience, and post-theater reflection to integrate their live arts experience.
Share the Dance
Montana Ballet Company provides complimentary performance tickets to community members who otherwise would not be able to attend. MBC regularly partners with regional nonprofit organizations including Eagle Mount, Big Sky Youth Empowerment, HRDC, Family Outreach, Thrive, the Help Center, Reach, Gallatin County CASA/Guardian ad Litem, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and senior centers to ensure Share the Dance reaches broad and diverse populations.
Share the Dance & Dinner
In partnership with HRDC and the Gallatin Valley Food Bank, MBC staff and dancers pack groceries, deliver food to people who are experiencing food insecurity, and perform for community members at food delivery sites. This ongoing collaboration provides a way for our dancers to meaningfully give back, aligning with our core values of community, integrity, grace, and gratitude.
MBC Moves
MBC Moves strengthens children’s health and wellness through a multidisciplinary program for children, aligning the art form and sport of dance with health and wellness. MBC Moves enriches fine arts as well as health enhancement programming in elementary schools. Montana Ballet Company developed innovative curriculum for interactive learning, integrating a central focus on movement with related disciplines. MBC Moves is built from established partnerships with musicians, visual artists, physical therapists, nutritionists, and mental health experts.
