American Ballet Theatre (ABT), founded in 1940, is the United States’ premier touring ballet company, performing for more than 450,000 people each year across 139 cities worldwide. The company maintains a rich repertoire of full-length classical ballets and contemporary works, while commissioning new pieces from emerging choreographers under Artistic Director Susan Jaffe. ABT’s season is anchored by performances at the Metropolitan Opera House and Koch Theater in New York, and its global tours bring high-quality dance theater to audiences nationwide. In addition to world-class performances, ABT offers a comprehensive education program—including the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School, summer intensives, and a national training curriculum—to cultivate the next generation of dancers and educators. This combination of artistic excellence, national outreach, and educational commitment makes ABT a living national treasure and a leading employer in the performing arts.
