Founded in 1969, the New Orleans Ballet Association | NOBA advances the dance field by cultivating understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of dance through performance, education, and community service. Dynamic programs and innovative strategies position NOBA as the leading dance presenting and service organization in Louisiana. Over 30,000 people are served annually through two programming elements: 1) Main Stage Series, a full season of performances by world-class dance companies of all genres presented at the Mahalia Jackson Theater and in partnership with NOCCA and Tulane University; and 2) Education, Health/Wellness, and Arts Healing Programs, comprehensive, internationally-recognized programs that educate, train, and nurture individuals ages 4-80+ through 5,000+ tuition-free classes and outreach activities annually at up to 20 citywide neighborhood sites in three parishes (as well as virtually since March 2020, as necessary.)
