Oakland Ballet Company is a nonprofit performing arts organization based in Oakland, California, that reflects the diversity of the East Bay through dance. Led by Graham Lustig since 2010, it operates a professional company, an educational program, and The Academy, and has earned Isadora Duncan awards for its work. While classical ballet anchors its repertoire, the company embraces a variety of styles and collaborates with local artists to broaden its artistic reach beyond Oakland. Its Discover Dance program provides arts education and access to live dance for more than 15,000 students, teachers, and community members each year, with free or low-cost offerings such as in-school assemblies, student performances, ticket donations, scholarships to The Academy, and the You Can Dance residency program. The Academy offers training for ages 5 through 17, from beginner to pre-professional, focusing on classical ballet, artistic expression, and nurturing self-confidence in a supportive environment. In November 2023, Oakland Ballet Company partnered with Ballet Folklorico Mexico Danza of Hayward to present Viva La Vida, a piece about Frida Kahlo.
