Project Description

Ballet Des Moines’ vision is to create experiences that inspire and connect people from all walks of life, modeling authentic inclusion in their performance and educational programming by focusing on access, by lifting up relevant and underrepresented stories, and by forging collaborations fostered in trust, humility, and artistry.

As a leading regional dance company, BDM attracts the most in-demand choreographers and hundreds of international applicants for company and trainee positions each year.

Since 2019, the company has doubled its number of performances and more than tripled the number of company dancers, all of whom have relocated to Des Moines, Iowa, to accept their position with Ballet Des Moines.
