Spokane Ballet Ensemble

The Spokane Ballet Ensemble is a non-profit performing arts organization providing pre-professional dance students with classical ballet training, performance opportunities and being a part of the enrichment of the greater Spokane Community through educational and entertaining productions.

Former SBE dancers have gone on to professional ballet, theater and commercial careers dancing with companies such as the Pacific NW Ballet, Nevada Ballet Theater and the Disney Corporation. Some SBE dancers are now studying dance at universities nationwide and others are teaching dance across the country, as well as, here at the Dance Center of Spokane!

2020/2021 season the Spokane Ballet Ensemble performed Cinderella.

SBE School Performances

For the past 30 years, SBE has been staging quality ballet performances at area elementary schools. Elementary school gymnasiums are transformed into theaters, complete with special flooring, backdrops, sound systems, wings, and lighting. SBE has performed for nearly every elementary school in the greater Spokane area, including some of the Coeur D’Alene schools. 

Community Performance Fundraiser

Community Performance Fundraisers for the Food Bank have been SBE’s mission for the past seven years. SBE performs an annual performance at a major theater venue for charity. These past years we have proudly contributed to Spokane’s  Second Harvest Food Bank with performances from our repertoire, which includes, The Nutcracker, Coppelia, Les Patineurs, La Fille Mal Gardee, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Paquita, and Peter and the Wolf.
