THE COMPANY
The North Central Ballet Company is the
resident company of the North Central
School of Ballet and is a member of the
Southwestern Regional Ballet Association,
Regional Dance America, The Arts Council
of Northeast Tarrant County and the
Dallas Dance Council.  
 Founded in 1993 by Leslie M. Jordan III,
the North Central Ballet Company is a civic,
non-profit organization dedicated to
promoting the art of ballet and helping to
enrich the environment of our community
through education, performance and dance
related activities.  The primary goals of the
company are to provide young dancers the
opportunity to develop their talents in a
professional atmosphere, and to pass on to
them the excitement of a “live stage
performance”.  
North Central Ballet Company also provides
a training ground for serious dancers who
wish to develop a stage presence while
advancing their education. Dancers in the
area who are proficient in classical ballet
and pointe work are eligible to audition for
the company.  In all things we shall strive to
instill the desire for excellence in art,
cooperation among young people and a sense
of pride in our community.  
 
 The North Central Ballet is committed to
providing the finest dance lessons available in the
Northeast Tarrant County Area. Students from
the North Central Ballet have been awarded
scholarships to study with major professional ballet
company schools throughout the United States
including School of American Ballet (New York),
Joffrey Ballet (New York), North Carolina School
of the Arts, Boston Ballet, Hartford Ballet,
Exploring Ballet with Suzanne Farrell, Kennedy
Center, Ballet Austin and Colorado Ballet as well
as major university dance departments. In
addition, several of our former students are now
performing with professional dance companies
around the world. Professional ballet instruction is
the basis of our student's success.
 
 Students have also been accepted to American
Ballet Theatre's National Training Scholar
Program as well as represented the school as a
finalist for the National Foundation for
Advancement in the Arts Presidential Scholar
program.
 
 Former students have represented the United
States of America at the 2002 International Ballet
Competition in Jackson, Mississippi.
 
 All dancers are invited to participate in our
annual full-length ballet. We do not present
"recitals", as do many "studios". Students in the
ballet school have the advantage of participating in
a full-length classical ballet with historically
correct choreography. This allows our students to
be exposed to the classics as well as performing
alongside high level dancers.
