 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.
