Portland Ballet Company's "Degas"

The Portland School of Ballet was founded in 1980 in Portland, Maine, by Artistic Director Eugenia L. O’Brien. PSB’s mission is to provide a professional education for children and adults in the full spectrum of classical ballet while serving as a broad based educational institution for the general community. Portland School of Ballet is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

The Portland School of Ballet has an extraordinary history of excellence from its earliest beginnings. By assembling a staff of professionally qualified teachers, O’Brien has coordinated the training of pre-professional dancers who have been accepted into the most prestigious schools and summer programs. Students have been accepted at American Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet Academy, North Carolina School for the Arts, Pacific Northwest Ballet, National School of Canada, Walnut Hill, Pennsylvania Ballet, the Kirov Academy, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and other respected institutions.
