Little Women Ballet Company is a women-run, story-driven company. We began with Little Women — a story of enduring creativity, resilience, and collective strength — and that story opened the door for something larger: original, innovative ballets conceived, choreographed, and led by women. Not just as performers, but as authors of the work itself.

Little Women Ballet is sustained by a community of supporters who believe in women-led storytelling, original creation, and the power of dance to hold many voices. Your generosity makes it possible for our artists to rehearse, create, and share work that expands what ballet can be.

Little Women Ballet Company Inc. is officially incorporated in the State of California and is moving forward with the process of becoming a nonprofit organization. In the meantime, Little Women Ballet operates as a fiscally sponsored project of ArtistsPlus Productions, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are fully tax-deductible. Donations may be made anonymously. Learn more about ArtistsPlus Productions at artistsplus.org.
