Diablo Ballet is an award-winning internationally recognized professional performing dance company committed to enriching, inspiring, enlightening, and educating children and adults through the art of dance. Diablo Ballet was founded in 1993 in order to address the absence of a professional ballet company in the region. The Company consists of dancers who have performed throughout the United States, Europe, and South America.

Diablo Ballet has achieved artistic success capturing enthusiastic public response, critical acclaim, and international recognition. Known for world premieres and restaging of classic dance works, Diablo Ballet presents programs that range from contemporary to classical. Unlike most local dance companies, Diablo Ballet uses live music for its performance season.

Diablo Ballet is also known for its acclaimed PEEK Youth Outreach Program. This one-of-a-kind program provides in-school arts education from Diablo Ballet dancers to thousands of elementary school students in under-served school districts in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties and young teens in  Juvenile Hall. PEEK is endorsed by federal, state, and local policy-makers,  including Assemblymember Susan Bonilla’s 2015 recognition of Diablo Ballet for “Successfully imparting to young people the incomparable experience of live performance, inspiring them to become actively involved in all that life has to offer.” 

In August 2019, Diablo Ballet opened the first Ballet School in Contra Costa County run by their professional ballet company.  Diablo Ballet School is located in Walnut Creek.
