About San Pedro City Ballet
San Pedro City Ballet was established in 1994 by nationally recognized dancers and teachers Cynthia and Patrick Bradley as a not-for-profit dance company serving greater Los Angeles. The company performs The Nutcracker annually at the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro, as well as produces original modern works for a variety of venues throughout Southern California. Its mission is to identify, train and promote a world-class pre-professional dance company from the diverse population of the Los Angeles Harbor area that is founded in the base of classical works and traditions, and goes beyond to explore new contemporary and original modern works and to provide training to schools throughout Los Angeles for arts education and after-school programs.
Former student Misty Copeland recently made history by becoming the first African American female Principal dancer at the prestigious American Ballet Theatre in New York. She is considered ballet’s first breakthrough star in decades, and has been featured in a commercial for Under Armour that went viral; danced with Prince on tour; written a bestselling autobiography; is developing a new TV show; and was recently featured on the cover of Time magazine. Copeland was discovered by Cynthia Bradley as a 13-year-old through one of San Pedro City Ballet’s outreach programs.
