The National Ballet Institute for the Arts (NBIA) makes quality arts education accessible to all.  We provide high quality professional performances and classes for all ages and levels at affordable prices. NBIA and the National Ballet Company serve the greater DC, MD, VA area.

Now in its 66th year, NBIA is at a critical point in its reorganization.  In the past year, it reopened in the Annapolis community and has expanded to include an art gallery exhibiting emerging visual artists. 


NBIA draws students from across the United States, including  Montgomery, Prince George's, Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's Counties in Maryland; Virginia (as far as the Shenandoah Valley); the District of Columbia, California, New Jersey, and Texas. Students attend classes during the regular school year, as well as intensives in the summer.

The National Ballet Company provides quality performances for the general public, as we as, schools from DC, Maryland, and Virginia. NBC provides arts programming at affordable prices in venues accessible to all. Company members and students also donate their time to perform free of charge at select community events to ensure that audiences that wouldn't have any other exposure, experience live theater.

Please share your support of the arts with friends, other patrons and art supporters and encourage them to support NBIA and the arts.

What We Need & Our Thanks to You

NBIA has an annual goal of raising a minimum of $100,000 to continue providing live performances and affordable classes. 

Our goal with this “Build the Future” campaign is at least $10,000.  Will you help us surpass this goal?

Contributed funds help to maintain our facilities and ensure a “home” for NBIA students and NBC dancers. Funds also ensure that quality classes taught by highly qualified professionals and performances remain affordable.

As a special thank you for your support, we’re offering s perks such as vouchers for refreshments at performances, autographed prints, Nutcracker tickets, and meet Brutus the Nutcracker Dog!

More About Us

Founded in 1948 by founder/director Helen Moore, the National Ballet is Maryland's oldest professional ballet company.  Known for our "...high artistic standards and strong technique" Capital News, we provide artistic excellence to the public at affordable prices.  Performing a wide range of ballets from the full length classics to contemporary works, there is always something that appeals to the individual audience member.

In additional to high quality professional performances, NBIA is dedicated to the professional training of students, teachers and other professionals in ballet, other forms of dance, art, and music. 

Under the direction of Pamela Moore, Co- Chairman of the Board of Examiner for the Cecchetti Council of America, Diploma Fellow with the CCA (DFCCA) and Cecchetti USA (DFCUSA), NBIA offers a thorough education in all aspects of ballet technique taught by a staff of trained and certified professionals who share the vision of fostering a love of the arts in every student.

Children may begin as young as age 3 in a pre-ballet program carefully designed to nurture a love for dance while developing coordination and musicality.  Older children can pursue the study of the Cecchetti Method leading to the professional levels, the Final Diploma and Teacher’s Certification. 

Related dance forms, art, music and theater are also included in the curriculum to provide the skills required of today’s dancers and teachers, and to encourage students to explore other art forms.
