Minnesota Ballet is a fairly young (history-wise), small, regional company headquartered in the northern city of Duluth. In addition to the two artistic directors and two guest artists, the company has 11 dancers. It is presenting two ballets this coming season. In addition to "Nutcracker," it is doing a "world premiere" of "Cinderella." It appears to be a community-involved company, giving lecture-dems in the Duluth area. It also has a school with classes offered for dancers of all ages and levels.
