Founded in 1994 by Tony and Emmy Award-winning choreographer Michael Smuin, Smuin Contemporary Ballet is dedicated to advancing the art of ballet by marrying classical forms with contemporary dance. To that end, Smuin collaborates with choreographers from around the world, commissioning new works and embracing bold ideas, while also honoring the past. Now under the direction of Amy Seiwert, the Company continues its history of innovation in dance, lifting up new voices and providing space for artists to push their creative habits. At its headquarters in San Francisco, the Smuin Center for Dance, the Company inspires the next generation of dancers and dance makers, offering residencies and other programs for early career choreographers, alongside ballet classes for the public at all levels.
