Ballet Espressivo was founded in 2003 under the leadership and artistic direction of choreographer Donna Greenberg. The company is dedicated to producing innovative choreography enriched with elements from such wide-ranging traditions as eighteenth-century ballet and modern dance, while remaining true to the technique of classical ballet.

Since its inception in the Toronto dance scene, the company has performed extensively at such venues as The Harbourfront Centre, Toronto Centre for the Arts, The Mississauga Living Arts Centre, The Betty Oliphant Theatre, Series 8:08, and TIDF Toronto International Dance Festival. Ballet Espressivo has also managed to form creative partnerships with such organizations as the Bach Children's Chorus and Sinfonia Toronto.

Currently Ballet Espressivo continues to create and perform dance that is expressive, meaningful, and varied. For more information about upcoming performances, please check out the Performances section on the site.

Our vision is, through the language of ballet, to promote an understanding of the art of dance, and to create and perform works that are enriching, enlivening, and accessible.

Our mission is to present works that expand the boundaries of traditional ballet choreography by melding elements of modern and classical dance and by utilizing innovative narratives and dynamic sound.
