== History ==
Atlanta Ballet was founded in 1929 by Dorothy Alexander as the Dorothy Alexander Concert Group. During the 1940s, the organization was known as the Atlanta Civic Ballet,〔 paragraph 1〕 with Dorothy Alexander acting as Director. It was the nation's first regional ballet company. In 1946 the Company became the first in the nation to help fund a symphony by donating the season's annual proceeds to the Atlanta Youth Symphony, which later developed into the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
In the 1950s Robertt Barnett joined the company from New York City Ballet as a principal dancer and associate director. Barnett received exclusive permission from George Balanchine to use his choreography for ''The Nutcracker'' as well as other signature works, making Atlanta Civic Ballet the only company in the country to perform works by Balanchine outside of New York City Ballet for several decades. Alexander guided her dance company for more than three decades before hand picking her successor, Robert Barnett, who was named artistic director in 1961. In 1967, the company gained professional status as Atlanta Ballet.
In 1994 Robert Barnett retired from his role as artistic director and John McFall accepted the position. The focus of the company has shifted to include education as a key point in addition to providing innovative and entertaining performances to the Atlanta community.
