The company: passionate dancers
Quebec's Ballet Tompkins company performs a diverse neoclassical repertoire. It aims to democratize the art of ballet by staging accessible quality productions that reach a wide audience. Conservatory-trained dancers have the opportunity to join the company to develop as performing artists, while dancers trained elsewhere find a welcoming and inclusive company in which to hone their craft.
