Atlanta Ballet was founded over eight decades ago by dance visionary Dorothy Moses Alexander (1904-1986). Miss Dorothy had a dream of bringing quality ballet to the Atlanta community. The result was the Dorothy Alexander Dance Concert Group - the first step in the regional ballet movement that swept the nation.
In 1946, the Company, now named Atlanta Civic Ballet, became the first dance company in the nation to help fund a symphony. The season's annual proceeds were donated to the Atlanta Youth Symphony, which would later become Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. In 1958, Miss Dorothy invited Robert Barnett, a soloist with the acclaimed New York City Ballet and a protg of George Balanchine, to join the Company as a principal dancer.
