Auditions are now open for our 2026/27 Season!

Ballet Edmonton is a creation-based contemporary ballet company under the Artistic Direction of Kirsten Wicklund located in Edmonton, Alberta (CANADA). We collaborate with emerging and renowned choreographers and artists from around the world with a vision which honours the creative process as a platform to represent diverse artistic voices, ideas and approaches in dance.
