Donna Muzio founded Brandywine Ballet in 1979, continuously serving as the company’s Artistic Director. Brandywine Ballet includes pre-professional and professional dancers, as well as guest artists. The Certificate in Ballet, a joint program with West Chester University, enables dancers to pursue the academic degree of their choice while participating in Brandywine Ballet’s classes, rehearsals, and performances. In recent years, the company has premiered works by guest choreographer’s Matthew Neenan (Ballet X), Ronen Koresh (Koresh Dance Company), and Meredith Rainey (formerly Pennsylvania Ballet), as well as earned George Balanchine Trust approval to perform four Balanchine pieces Concerto Barocco, Tchaikovsky’s Pas De Deux, Serenade, and Valse-Fantaisie. National publication Dance Magazine recently recognized Brandywine Ballet for its thought-provoking mix of classical and contemporary ballet programming. Brandywine Ballet receives support from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and Chester County Conference and Visitors Bureau.Brandywine Ballet Company, 317 Westtown Road, Suite 5, West Chester, PA 19382
