Founder and artistic director Kathy Thibodeaux stepped into the spotlight of the international ballet community in 1982 when she won the Silver Medal at the II USA International Ballet Competition.

Inspired by a desire to see the arts restored to the church, Thibodeaux founded Ballet Magnificat in 1986, and Ballet Magnificat School of the Arts in 1989. Today both feature an ensemble of professional dancers and teachers from around the world who share Thibodeaux’s vision.

Ballet Magnificat’s professional touring companies present more than 200 programs each year throughout the United States and abroad. They have been guests on the “700 Club,” TBN, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and the Christian Music Artists Seminar in Estes Park.

Internationally, the companies have delivered compelling programs on such themes as forgiveness, hope and joy for audiences in Germany, Puerto Rico, The Netherlands, Greece, Costa Rica, Belize, Czech Republic, Honduras, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Cayman Islands, Poland, Israel and Singapore.
