The Company began as the vision of Co-Artistic Director Gregory Aaron, and made its debut on November 4, 1989, in a full length performance of Cinderella. In 1994, the Company welcomed Nicolas Pacaña as Co-Artistic Director. Gregory Aaron does the choreography.

The Company hosts two major ballet productions a year, including its classic version of The Nutcracker.
