Cleveland Ballet was founded in Cleveland in 2014 by Gladisa Guadalupe and Michael Krasnyansky.[1][2] It is the third incarnation of a Cleveland Ballet, having been preceded by establishments of the same name founded in 1935 and 1972.

The company has grown from 5 to 26 dancers from 11 countries and territories over its initial 5 seasons,[3] and as of 2019 was one of the fastest growing professional ballet companies in the U.S.[1] In 2017, it became a resident company of Playhouse Square.[4]
