The Portland Ballet, based in Portland, Oregon, operates as a performing arts organization that trains ballet artists in a demanding, performance-centered setting. Its program emphasizes professional-level instruction for young dancers, pairing rigorous technique with choreography, music, and performance design led by seasoned teachers and guest artists. While the curriculum targets potential ballet careers, it also supports creative exploration of other aesthetics, supported by access to professional choreographers and musicians and regular performance opportunities, including collaborations with The George Balanchine Trust. Founded in 2001 by Nancy Davis and Jim Lane, The Portland Ballet aims to develop dancers as people, fostering self-confidence, maturity, and self-discipline alongside technique. As a small to mid-sized performing arts organization based in Portland, it emphasizes the educational and social value of dance in youth development. In September 2022, the company announced leadership changes to expand community engagement, naming Lauren Lane as associate artistic director and director of community engagement, and appointing Nicholas Le-Jurica to lead community engagement initiatives.
