Sarasota Ballet

The Sarasota Ballet has distinguished itself as one of Florida's most artistically ambitious dance companies, earning particular acclaim for its dedication to the works of Sir Frederick Ashton. Under the direction of Iain Webb, a former Royal Ballet dancer, the company has become an internationally recognized custodian of the Ashton repertoire, performing works rarely seen outside London. This unexpected specialization has put Sarasota on the global ballet map, attracting dance connoisseurs who might never otherwise visit Florida's Gulf Coast. The Sarasota Ballet proves that artistic distinction can emerge from the most surprising places.
