“…it is wonderful to note that
Ballet with a capital B has definitely arrived back in Syracuse.”
- Bill West Theatre Reviewer
Table Hopping (Feb 2004 Swan Lake review)
Founded in 1997 by current Artistic Director Kathleen
Rathbun and a dedicated group of volunteers, Upstate NY Ballet,
Inc. is the only professional ballet company serving the Central
New York community. We create family-oriented entertainment while
offering opportunities for local professional, pre-professional,
and student dancers to perform classical and premiere works with
national and international guest artists.
A vibrant arts community encourages collaboration,
instills local pride, draws people together, and is essential to
a community’s vitality. Upstate NY Ballet contributes to the
richness of Central New York’s cultural palette by providing
a “big city” ballet presence. Our growth from a small
grass-roots venture to a professional quality ballet has secured
ballet as a dance presence in Central New York.

Director
