OCEANICA BALLET INC

OCEANICA BALLET INC (branded as Oceánica Ballet) is a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit ballet company incorporated as a charitable organization and designated a 501(c)(3) public charity. The company was formed to present professional-level, story-driven and repertory ballet that centers cultural relevance and accessibility for family and community audiences.

Since its founding, Oceánica Ballet has produced a steady season of performances and community engagement across the Peninsula and Bay Area, including summer showcases, autumn story ballets (notably The Headless Horseman + Viva La Vida), and outreach presentations at venues such as the Hiller Aviation Museum and College of San Mateo. The company programs new works and adaptations that highlight folkloric and multicultural influences and has mounted world-premiere work and preview performances in 2024–2025.

The organization is led by artistic co-directors and a small board of volunteer directors and officers and positions itself as an inclusive incubator for Bay Area dance artists. Public filings and nonprofit reporting show the organization filing annual Form 990/990-EZ returns and reporting annual revenues in the low six-figure range in recent years, with contributions forming the majority of support.
