 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. This scholarship program provides over $65,000 annually in educational and training opportunities in the arts for accomplished dancers. In 1996,
Georgia Dance Theatre Professional Company
was established in order  to expose these students to a higher level of  dance with opportunities of professional careers in 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 & the Performing Arts, is proud to present family favorites  such as The Nutcracker Ballet.  The Company has presented this family classic to  sell 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 Ballet by  The Endowment Committee of the Cultural Arts of Fayette County. In addition, the Georgia Council of the Arts has awarded this performing company with financial support for its high quality of professionalism and level of community education in the arts. Georgia Dance Theatre presents the only interactive performance of The Nutcracker Ballet with its production of The Nutcracker Tea - which introduces all children attending the event the opportunity to perform with the dancers.

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.

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. In addition, Georgia Dance Theatre supports various local charities that protect and house children of abuse and neglect.

  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. Several Georgia Dance Theatre alumni are professional dancers, educators, choreographers, actors and directors in the field of dance and theatre. In addition, Georgia Dance Theatre members are awarded acceptances and scholarships annually to outlying professional summer dance programs as well as yearly invitations to continue their dance education in pursuit of a professional career in the arts.

Volunteerism and financial support ensure that all children may be educated in the arts - we hope you will join us as we continue to pursue this quality of excellence for our community.

It is the goal of the artistic staff of Georgia Dance Theatre to provide every child with the opportunity to pursue the artist within.
