Mission
Founded in 1991, Eastern Shore Ballet Theatre, Inc. is a non-profit ballet company that was formed by Betty Webster and a local group of culturally minded people who wish to provide a venue for area dancers and raise awareness of the art of classical dance. In just a few years, the company has gained statewide recognition for its annual full-length December presentation of The Nutcracker and an impressive repertoire of ballets performed during the Spring Gala including Swan Lake, Coppélia, and Sleeping Beauty. It is also the company’s aspiration to foster local interest in the art of ballet, and to promote and stimulate appreciation in the related arts, such as music, dance, choreography and costume and set design.
Located in Fruitland, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Salisbury Dance Academy is home to the Eastern Shore Ballet Theatre.
