Its THE summer event you've been waiting for! For the fifth consecutive year, the Central Florida Ballet will once again host the World Ballet Competition in Orlando, Florida, USA. Since its 2007 inauguration, the WBC has since generated over 1.5 million views via YouTube.com and LiveStream.com, multi-page layouts in magazines including Dance For You (based in Europe), and most importantly an enthusiastic audience who are astounded by talent seen in each event!


The idea for the World Ballet Competition came with the intent to build support for the performing arts by making it more enticing to Americans. In the summer of 2007, Vasile Petrutiu (Founder and General Director of the Central Florida Ballet) inaugurated the World Ballet Competition. Petrutiu added unique elements to generate audience interest which include, an instantaneous computerized scoring system, live online broadcast, and drawing of numbers by each competitor the day before competition rounds encompass WBC’s unique features, unheard in other ballet competitions. The World Ballet Competition concludes with the "All Stars of Dance" performance which features winning competitors among the dance world's biggest stars - and is the most popular among every attendee. 


This year the WBC will be held from May 30 - June 4 at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center in Orlando, Florida. Be sure to tell your friends, family, and any arts supporter!
