Event Details
Canyon Concert Ballet's mission as a nonprofit organization is to expand, nourish, and enrich the artistic opportunities in classical dance through training, performance, and community outreach in service to the Northern Colorado region. As a quality performing arts company, and a leading educational institution for students of dance, Canyon Concert Ballet provides both professional training and recreational dance opportunities for dancers of all ages, strengths, and abilities.
Canyon Concert Ballet, Ltd. began as an informal ballet group in October 1977. In September 1979, incorporation was complete and in November of that year auditions produced a company of 17 Canyon Concert Ballet performers.
Carole Torguson (1923-2019), Founder
Our history began with our founder, Carole Torguson. Her dance story started early with formal training in classical ballet, and a ballet teaching career that began at age 14. She founded Canyon Concert Ballet in 1979, making her dream of an outstanding dance company in Northern Colorado a reality.
Carole’s lifelong passion was dance. Over fifty years after she began, she still taught 150 children each week. She also produced a series of instructional video tapes which were well-received across the U.S. Her belief in the paramount importance of listening to your body and giving it what it needs, be that work or rest, is still one of our guiding philosophies.
Canyon Concert Ballet continues to exercise her extraordinary care with these very young dancers in our Young Dancer Program. To this day, Carole continues to inspire our work at CCB.
Canyon Concert Ballet Today
Canyon Concert Ballet has grown into the only full-time professional ballet company in Northern Colorado. Annually, we present four classical and contemporary productions across our season. In addition to this, we host The Fort Collins Movement Festival. Our Company’s annual holiday productions of The Nutcracker, accompanied by the Fort Collins Symphony Orchestra, is a highlight of the holiday season in Fort Collins and Northern Colorado.
Our advanced students have opportunities to participate in our Youth Ensemble, where they are given additional performance opportunities and dance competition experience, as well as in our Professional Training Program, where they receive individual mentoring and training in how to pursue a professional career in dance.
All students participate in our annual Student Showcase at the end of the school year. From humble beginnings (and a big dream), Canyon Concert Ballet is an organization that Northern Colorado residents can be very proud of!

Beware of Ticket Scalpers
Do you really have a ticket? Not if you bought it from a 3rd party. A ticket scalper is a 3rd party who buys tickets to a performance from us and sells them to you for more money but you don’t actually have a seat. That’s right friends, you just paid more than the face value for a ticket or 10 and probably don’t even get to see the show. -
