Established by Shirley and Terry Dill, the mission of the organization was to provide high quality dance education and performance opportunities to dancers of the Sioux City area. In that time they presented nearly 50 productions with Ballet Sioux including: The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and many more. They have also sponsored companies and dancers from across the country to travel to the area to assist in upholding their mission.
