Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre. Founded in 1986, José Mateo Ballet Theatre's company and school have forged a new model for a ballet organization through innovative programming, artistic excellence, and extensive community outreach. Critically acclaimed, José Mateo Ballet Theatre is distinguished as the only ballet company in New England to produce an entire repertory by it's own resident choreographer. After performing at Boston's Emerson Majestic Theatre for a decade, the company has been based at the Sanctuary Theatre since 2001. The school, which provides expert dance training to young dancers ages 3-18 and adults of all ages and levels, has been a leader in creating broader access to the art form.. Ballet Theatre's mission is to:

• make ballet accessible to audiences and students of all ethnic, cultural, and economic backgrounds
• expand the role dance plays in the education of our youth and enrichment of our community
• further the development of the art form through original ballets of artistic excellence that provide a more relevant experience for today's audiences.

José Mateo's Ballet Theatre is conveniently accessible in Harvard Square, Cambridge, at the corner of Mass Ave. and Harvard St., next to The Inn at Harvard. The studios are accessible via the MBTA's Red Line at the Harvard Square stop. Metered on-street parking is available.
