Our Story
Founded in 1991, LakeCities Ballet Theatre has become a cornerstone of the local arts community in Lewisville, Texas. The journey began with a captivating production of The Nutcracker, choreographed by Artistic Director Kelly Lannin. Supported by a dedicated Board of Directors, this production quickly gained recognition from the Greater Lewisville Arts Council and the City of Lewisville. In 1992, LBT made history by collaborating with Maestro Adron Ming to feature the Lewisville Lake Symphony, becoming the first regional ballet company in the metroplex to present performances with a live, professional orchestra. This commitment to live music continues to set LBT apart, attracting attention from both local critics and international ballet stars.
