Description

Inland Pacific Ballet is a professional ballet company established in 1994 whose mission is to build and sustain a ballet company of national stature in Southern California. IPB produces exquisitely staged productions of full-length classic story ballets as well as presenting the best in contemporary choreography. Through an extensive outreach program and family-friendly programming, IPB introduces new audiences to the magic of ballet, and strives to make the experience accessible to all. IPB also nurtures young talent, and through its scholarship apprentice program, provides an essential training ground for serious young dancers.

Inland Pacific Ballet is the resident ballet company at the historic Bridges Auditorium located on the Claremont Colleges campus in Claremont, CA. The elegant 2,400 seat theater was built in 1931 and at the time of its opening was widely regarded as the finest theater in Southern California, quickly becoming one of the area's major cultural assets. Its great white columns, vaulting arches, grand marble foyer, and hand painted coffered ceilings provide the perfect setting for an enchanting outing at the ballet.
