Ballet Fantastique is a performing arts company based in Eugene, Oregon, founded in 2000. The company creates all-original ballet productions that fuse classical technique with diverse musical influences and expressive storytelling, collaboratively partnering with choirs, opera and vocal soloists, orchestras, literary and visual artists, and composers to expand the art form. Its performances, staged across Oregon, the Northwest, and internationally, are led by a small team of seven dancers under the direction of a mother-daughter duo, Donna and Hannah Bontrager, and are distinguished by innovative choreography and bold musical choices.

Targeting audiences seeking contemporary ballet experiences, Ballet Fantastique collaborates with regional ensembles and cultural institutions to present fresh, cross-disciplinary works. Notable recent activities include recognition with a silver Telly award for a ballet film and ongoing projects such as Arrivals: Rio, an original Latin American themed production, reflecting its commitment to exploring new styles and partnerships within the broader performing arts ecosystem.
