Ballet Jörgen Canada is the fifth largest Canadian Ballet Company currently serving the nation. The company was founded in 1987 to create an opportunity for Canadian choreographers and original new works in classical ballet.

We are recognized internationally for our entrepreneurial innovation, our commitment to choreographic originality and artistic excellence.

Ballet Jörgen Canada advances the art of ballet and choreography through the expression of the artistic vision of Bengt Jörgen.
