Since 2012, Ballet Edmonton, formerly Citie Ballet, has taken centre stage as a professional ballet company presenting original work, with a focus on contemporary dance. In 2018, they brought in acclaimed choreographer Wen Wei Wang as Artistic Director and changed the name to Ballet Edmonton to “better reflect our sense of civic pride,” says Sheri Somerville, Executive Director.
“We felt it was important to proudly use Edmonton in our title since that is where we all live and create.”
