1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Berkeley Ballet Theater offers the highest quality dance training from beginning to professional levels, supports a preprofessional youth company, introduces ballet to young audiences through an outreach program, is committed to access, diversity and equity in students and faculty, offers special classes to boys and provides economic assistance to promising dancers in need of financial assistance.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Berkeley Ballet Theater's Mission is to provide rigorous classical ballet training in a diverse and nurturing environment to students of all ages and to enrich the community by providing the joy of dance to everyone.

  • Youth Division: BBT's Youth Division provides dancers with the opportunity to study classical ballet in a disciplined, professional atmosphere that is also supportive of each student's unique talents, passions, and creative voice. Our commitment to offering a rigorous syllabus in an inclusive space, equips students with exceptional training that can launch them into a professional dance career or a lifelong, meaningful connection to ballet. The nurturing, encouraging, and body positive environment at BBT also gives students the confidence and persistence to make an impact in whatever life path they choose. Each dancer in BBTs Youth Division matriculates through the curriculum at a different pace. Unlike academic learning, dancers often progress through their training in a non-linear fashion, experiencing bursts of growth that can be followed by seemingly long periods of plateau in which a deepening of core values is built up to support the dancers next leap forward.

    Expenses $567,177

  • Adult Open Division: BBTs Adult Open Division offers weekly classes at all levels led by a member of BBTs celebrated Faculty and featuring live accompaniment at Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. Classes are designed for dancers to begin at any time Please see the Level descriptions below to select an appropriate class. BBTs Open Division combines the highest level of ballet training with a positive atmosphere that cultivates community and celebrates individuality.

    Expenses $315,098

  • Post:ballet: Berkeley Ballet Theater is the official school of Post:ballet, the acclaimed contemporary dance company founded in 2009 by Artistic Director Robin Dekkers, named 25 to Watch by DANCE Magazine. Berkeley Ballet Theaters dancers and community are connected to the creative process of a professional company that has gained local and national recognition for making work that is inventive, focused, sophisticated, and anything but risk averse SF Chronicle. Offering professional-level performance opportunities and inspiring workshop experiences to BBT dancers, this partnership amplifies both organizations shared values of artistic excellence, inclusivity, passion, and imagination. Whether a dancer is interested in pursuing pre-professional training in the Youth Division or experiencing the joy of movement in the Adult Division, this partnership with Post:ballet enriches each dancers experience at BBT and cultivates a collaborative relationship between members of both organizations communities. In March 2025, BBT disbanded the professional company, Post:ballet. The company performed one final program at the end of January 2025.

    Expenses $189,059

  • Pre-Ballet Division: Berkeley Ballet Theater is honored to guide young dancers through their introduction to ballet. BBT's Pre-Ballet Division faculty have expertise in both the art of dance and early childhood development. Our goal is to support our dancers both as artists and people and we are here to facilitate the process of finding the class that best serves dancers and their families. Dancers in BBT's Pre-Ballet Division are introduced to fundamental elements of dance training, including physical movement, creative play, exploration of rhythm and shape, and spatial awareness. Our young dancers learn important community building skills, including taking turns, patience, listening, focus, self-respect, and respect for others. All of these skills are meant to prepare our young dancers to thrive and grow in their love of dance as they move on to the increasingly rigorous training provided in the Youth Division.

    Expenses $126,039

  • Dance for PD is a movement program developed through a collaboration between the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Brooklyn Parkinson Group, based on the idea that professional dancers can help people with Parkinsons disease improve movement, balance, rhythm, and coordination. Classes are designed for individuals with Parkinsons at any stage, require no dance experience, and combine various dance styles with live music in a supportive, social, and enjoyable environment. The program offers free, weekly in-studio classes for dancers with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
