Dance Alive National Ballet, founded in 1963 and the premier touring Company in the Southern United States, features an international roster of award winning dancers.

Throughout this choreographic tapestry are woven the ballets of Executive Artistic Director Kim Tuttle, Company Choreographer Judy Skinner, and newly appointed Resident Choreographer Brian Carey Chung whose distinctive artistic styles brand the company. Dance Alive National Ballet has toured the Continental United States, Russia, Brazil, Cuba and Costa Rica under the auspices of the NEA, SouthArts, Allied Concert Services and Conciertos Internacionales.
