About
Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre (PBDT), based in Burbank, Calif., holds a deep and proud ballet legacy spanning three generations tracing its legacy to the Ballet Russes and Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. PBDT’s repertoire features a mixture of Ballet Russe works ranging from the well-known “Can Can” from Gaite Parisienne and Scheherazade to classical ballet with the family favorite The Nutcracker and the neo-classical “Movements” by Rachmaninov. The group’s repertoire also includes energetic and edgy contemporary pieces like “Cut to the Chase” incorporating the company’s storytelling in the dramatic ballet Carmen. In July 2022, PBDT returned to live theatre performances, offering No Business Like Show Business to a sold-out theatre. The company prides itself on the variety of performances and adventures, featuring different ranges of repertoire and diversity in both choreography and company of dancers. Offering theatrical performances to the public again is PBDT’s way of saying, “Live theatre is back!”
