Georgia Dance Theatre, a civic, non-profit organization, was founded in 1990 by artistic director, Sherri Davis. The objective of this company is to provide the serious student an intense study of dance and an opportunity to perform, while offering an avenue for those interested in pursuing a professional career in dance. In 1996, Georgia Dance Theatre Professional Company was established in order to expose these students to a higher level of dance.

Since its inception, Georgia Dance Theatre has presented various productions to the community including In the Spirit of Dance. This series of performances showcases various choreographers presenting their original works of contemporary and classical dance in concert format. 

In addition, Georgia Dance Theatre, in association with Georgia Academy of Dance, is proud to present family favorites such as The Nutcracker Suite.  The Company has presented this family classic to sold out audiences in neighboring communities.  The Company is also proud to be the only recipient of co-sponsorship of it’s production of The Nutcracker Suite by The Endowment Committee of the Cultural Arts of Fayette County.

Georgia Dance Theatre continues to be an innovative and highly respected company focused on reaching new audiences with its repertoire of the classical to the original.

For its high standards of achievement in the cultural arts, this dedicated group has received funding from respected arts organizations, local businesses and private individuals. The company has also made a commitment to give back to the community by extending its talents to benefit performances. These include performing for the terminally ill of Egleston Hospital, guest appearances with the Portrait of Hope’s presentation of Hope...for the Children, which raised $35,000 to benefit Christian City’s Home for Children, and Dance for the Children, a benefit to help mentally and physically challenged children of the Joseph Sams School of Fayette County.

 It is not only generous individual and corporate funding that has allowed this company to produce such varied entertainment, but also the enthusiastic support of the community. We are very grateful and honored to be the recipient of such support.

 Most of the alumni of Georgia Dance Theatre have received scholarships to colleges in dance programs or have elected to continue their education in the area of the fine arts in some capacity. The company has had more students accepted to, or received scholarships from professional schools than any other local performing company. Georgia Dance Theatre is proud to have students currently performing with professional companies in the area of dance.
