The Ketchikan Theatre Ballet teaches dance to hundreds of students each year -
ballet, jazz, tap, and more. We present three major performances a year: An Evening
of Dance during the Festival of the North in February, the Spring Gala in May,
and the Nutcracker in December. KTB also collaborates with the Ketchikan
Area Arts and Humanities Council and First
City Players in sponsoring Gigglefeet Dance Festival in August.
Ketchikan
Theatre Ballet works closely with other community arts organizations and dance
schools in Southeast Alaska. KTB, KAAHC and First City Players are dedicated to
seeing an arts center housing all three organizations, enabling them to share
space and resources. KAAHC and KTB work closely to bring professional dance companies
such as Paco Peña Flamenco
Dance Company, Ailey
II, and Fly Dance Company
to Ketchikan to perform and give master classes to dancers in the community. As
a part of the community wide Festival of the North
in February, An Evening of Dance features our performance company dancers and
has included dance companies from other southeast communities. Our annual Spring
Gala performance in May showcases all of our school's dancers, ages 4 through
18, giving each KTB dancer a chance to shine. Our most popular performance is
our presentation of the Christmas classic The Nutcracker,
performed each December featuring our mid- to upper-level dancers and members
of the community. For more
