Description: Montana's Only Professional Ballet Company and Dance Academy, located in Helena, Montana.
Welcome to the online archive of Montana’s professional ballet company.
When the founding director of Ballet Montana returned to Helena from New York after a 20-year immersion in ballet culture, it was never her intention to re-create in her home state the world she left behind. She was injured and tired; she sought recovery and rest. But while Sallyann Mulcahy was recovering and resting, the world she left behind followed her to Montana.
After a guest-teaching stint at Milwaukee Ballet, she received a call from one of the dancers: “If we come to Montana, will you teach us?” She said yes, and soon found herself fielding similar requests from professionals across the continent.
