Ballet Idaho

This month, Ballet Idaho will be kicking off their 51st season with a lineup of new and returning favorites that promise to fill the stage with suspense, drama, magic and of course unforgettable dance.

Earlier this month Ballet Idaho was recognized for their role in promoting gender equity within the world of dance by the Dance Data Project. Idaho Matters talks with Ballet Idaho's Artistic Director and one of their choreographers to find out how we can bring more awareness to the gender gap in ballet and what it meant to the company to be recognized in this way.

Since 1972, Ballet Idaho has been celebrating stories of the human spirit through dance. 50 years later they are commemorating this accomplishment with the performance of four very special programs. Laura Curry, Executive Director of the company and the Artistic Director, Garret Anderson joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the history of Ballet Idaho and what they have in store for us this season.
