The company was founded in 2004 by Thordal Christensen and Colleen Neary, artistic directors, and Julie Whittaker, executive director.

The company’s 2014- 15 season includes the Tchaikovsky Trilogy, with three full-length ballets set to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, plus a mixed bill program of 20th century masterworks.

Los Angeles Ballet’s mission is to offer world-class professional ballet to audiences in the greater Los Angeles area.

Programs are presented at UCLA’s Royce Hall, Glendale’s Alex Theatre, Valley Performing Arts Center in Northridge and Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center.

The ballet company will also present four performances of “The Nutcracker” at its newest venue—the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
