btc celebrates 25 yearsWithin the past quarter-century, Ballet Theatre Company (BTC) evolved from a humble start to become Connecticut’s largest professional ballet organization.In honor of this milestone, Artistic Director Stephanie Dattellas has curated a performance season designed to appeal to ballet aficionados and first-time performance goers alike. Woven into its history is a rich tradition of innovative artistic “firsts” at BTC. One such "first" was the launch of a paid company of resident dancers in 2021. BTC remains the first and only professional ballet company in Connecticut that pays dancers bi-weekly wages for training, rehearsing, and performing.We hope you will join us for this historic season as an advertising partner.Your support will truly make an impact!INNOVATION becomES tradition
