Cork City Ballet
Cork City Ballet promotes and encourages the ethos that ballet no longer needs to be the preserve of the privileged. The company achieves this through its diversity of programming, which includes not just the well-loved classics but also modern and contemporary choreography including works specially created for the company by Irish Choreographer Jane Kellaghan among others.
This blend of classical and contemporary dance in the one programme is in keeping with the company's intention of making dance as accessible as possible to the general public, a major factor in the company being able to attract a new and younger audience to ballet than ever before.

Artistic Director - Alan Foley
Location - Cork, Ireland
Cork City Ballet aspires to promote dance as a vibrant and enjoyable art form, and the Company's Artistic Director, Alan Foley, also directs the VEC Diploma in Dance course at Colaiste Stiofain Naofa, which is based at the Institute for Choreography and Dance at Firkin Crane, Cork. This interaction places him in the valuable position of being able to provide enviable educational opportunities to the students in stagecraft and dance evaluation through the work of CCB. Eminent Irish dancer Patricia Crosbie is now reinvesting her expertise in Irish Ballet through her direct involvement with CCB.
Our links with the Irish National Youth Ballet offer professional exposure to fledgling dancers. Artistic staff of Cork City Ballet regularly visit theatres in London, Stockholm, St. Petersburg and New York to engage in discussion with policy makers and to strengthen our established international network of contacts.
