'''Ballet Pensacola''' is a performing arts organization founded as '''Kaleidoscope Dance Theatre''' in [[1978]] by arts educator [[Gioia Michelotti]]. A training program was added in [[1980]]. It became one of the anchor tenants of the newly-renovated [[Pensacola Cultural Center]] in [[1992]]. Known for a time as '''Kaleidoscope & Ballet Pensacola''', the Board of Directors formally changed its name to Ballet Pensacola in [[2006]].
The current artistic director is [[Richard Steinert]]. [[Bobby Ball]] (who was the previous artistic director) became the organization's executive director in [[2007]].
==School==
In addition to the Ballet Pensacola performing company, the organization operates a school from its [[Pensacola Cultural Center]] headquarters. Classes are available for dances aged 3 to adult and cover a wide range of classical and modern dance technique. The school averages around 300 students annually.
The school offers a number of scholarships, each named in honor of six formative members of the organization: [[Karen Olsen]], [[Patsy Hill]], [[Debbie Parrish]], [[Gioia Michelotti]], [[Judy Gomez]] and [[Nannette Grimm]].
==Performances==
[[Image:PensacolasNutcracker.jpg|thumb|right|140px|''Pensacola's Nutcracker'']]
Ballet Pensacola presents an average of four performances every year. These include an "Arts-in-Education" production, part of an initiative started in [[1988]] to make live dance accessible to children in the [[Escambia County School District|Escambia]] and [[Santa Rosa County School District]]s.
Since [[1989]], the organization has performed an annual Christmastime production of ''[[Wikipedia:The Nutcracker|The Nutcracker]]'', called '''Pensacola's Nutcracker''', in collaboration with the [[Pensacola Little Theatre]]. In recent years the production has included partnerships with the [[Pensacola Symphony Orchestra]] and the [[Choral Society of Pensacola]]. Due to renovations of the [[Saenger Theatre]], Ballet Pensacola scaled back this production for the 2007-2008 season, calling the abridged ballet the ''Nutcracker "Sweet"'' (a play on the word "suite").
