The Madison Civic Ballet was founded in 1992 and was the first arts organization to call the Madison County Cultural Center its home. As the young company began to grow in expertise, it attracted talented dancers from the greater metropolitan Jackson area and nearby cities, as well as Madison County.
The Company became loved and well known in the City of Madison for its performances of the "Nutcracker" and its annual Dinner Theater on the Cultural Center Stage, and soon began to receive numerous requests to perform for school and civic organizations around the state. The company toured to Brookhaven, Meridian and Yazoo City.

Because education is an important part of the Mississippi Metropolitan Ballet's mission, we continue to hold complimentary performances and conduct student workshops and lecture demonstrations for at risk youth and children who live in areas underserved by the arts.
Each year MMB has a commitment to provide meaningful educational experiences that contribute to the cultural development of Jackson-area school children, traditionally those underserved.Through a unique and ever-expanding outreach program and the continued support from the Mississippi Arts Commission, the Mississippi Metropolitan Ballet has introduced the art of ballet to over 15,000 children since the beginning of this program in 2000.

Support
Report
Tuition and ticket sales alone do not come close to covering the costs of bringing the magic of dance into our community. As a non-profit organization, Mississippi Metropolitan Ballet depends on the support of friends, patrons, and benefactors for financial operation. Financial support also comes from grants and fundraising projects undertaken by the Ballet Guild and Board of Directors.
