The Atlanta Festival Ballet Company is composed of ten professional dancers and student apprentices who have dedicated themselves to the discipline of dance performance. The Company began as the vision of Co-Artistic Director [1] Gregory Aaron, and made its debut on November 4, 1989, in a full length performance of Cinderella. In 1994, the Company welcomed [2] Nicolas Pacaña as Co-Artistic Director. Gregory Aaron does the choreography.
The Company hosts two major ballet productions a year, including its classic version of The Nutcracker.
