DanceWest Ballet was founded in 1990 by professional dancers Ricardo Moyano, formerly of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and Chicago Ballet, and Regina Helmer Moyano, formerly of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and San Diego Ballet.

In 1994, the company received its not-for-profit status. Included in its repertoire are a variety of classical ballet, jazz and contemporary pieces. This affords the dancers the opportunity to become proficient in more than one dance style.

Graduates of The School of DanceWest Ballet and the Company have gone on to join professional dance companies throughout the United States.

This is DanceWest Ballet’s 23rd year of performing “The Nutcracker” at Pfeiffer Hall.
