Ballet Nebraska^[1] is a professional ballet company located in Omaha, Nebraska.^[2] The company's season typically consists of three mainstage productions including a full-length fall ballet, The Nutcracker, and a mixed-repertory/triple-bill annual spring production entitled Momentum. The company also tours regionally and nationally, with yearly performances at Ballet Vero Beach in Vero Beach, Florida.

The Company's annual production of Momentum, which features a series of shorter ballets that are different each season, is a three-time recipient of the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Award (OEAA) for best dance production.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Founder and artistic director Erika Overturff's original version of the holiday classic The Nutcracker is performed annually at the Orpheum Theater and on regional tours. The Company collaborates each season with Joslyn Art Museum^[6] by creating an original work each season inspired by a current work or exhibition at the museum. Other collaborators include Opera Omaha,^[7] Omaha Performing Arts and Arts Center at Iowa Western.

Company repertoire includes many full length ballets ranging from classics of the romantic period, such as Giselle, neo-classical work such as George Balanchine's Valse-Fantaisie, to more contemporary works, such as Winthrop Corey's Dracula, Harrison McEldowney's Swing Swing Swing!, Oscar Antunez' A Midsummer Night's Dream and Kennet Oberly's Alice In Wonderland. The company has performed many original shorter ballets choreographed by Overturff and other renowned choreographers including, Paul Boos^[8] of The George Balanchine Trust, Peter Anastos, Jeff Satinoff and Edward Truitt, plus a staging of the 1909 ballet Prince Igor by former ballerina of the original Ballet Russe Col. de Basil, Mme. Tatiana Bechenova. Other master works in the company's repertoire include Folkine's The Dying Swan (2012, 2014), the Pas de trois des Odalisques from Joseph Mazilier's Le Corsaire (2014), Maurius Petipa's Paquita (2015), and George Balanchine's Valse-Fantaisie (2015).
