Who are we?
Southwest Virginia Ballet (SVB), an award-winning, pre-professional ballet company, and we want YOU to be a part of our most popular holiday tradition!

The Nutcracker is a timeless holiday tradition, the best-known of all ballets. Each year SVB’s performance hosts a cast of more than 100 dancers, 200 costumes and 400 accessories! To take part in this production is to share the stage in one of Roanoke’s most cherished artistic events and time-honored holiday traditions of Virginia’s Blue Ridge.

Southwest Virginia Ballet is beginning its 34th year with three dozen company members ages 10-18. Company members travel from all over Southwest Virginia to train each Saturday from August to June. Company membership, instruction and costumes are provided free of charge. Membership is based on demonstrated skill level and is open to all dancers. Southwest Virginia Ballet strives to maintain a diverse and cohesive company; therefore we do not discriminate in our casting practices.
