2006 Marked Fifty Years as a Company and Still Going Strong

Rose Marie Floyd, Director and Choreographer of the Contemporary Civic Ballet Company, founded her non-profit company in 1956 to provide dancers the experience of performing in a company and to further the cultural development of the community. Many of her students have become professional dancers in major companies, including the Joffrey Ballet, Netherlands Dance Co., Houston Ballet, Martha Graham, Cleveland Ballet, Metropolitan Opera Ballet Company, Modern Dance companies and Broadway Musicals.

In its early years, the Company performed with live orchestras including the South Oakland Symphony Orchestra and the Mt. Clemens Symphony Orchestra.

The Company’s repertoire includes La Forza del Destino, Horoscope, Rosamunde, Oberon, Capriccio Italian, Les Sylphides, and Rhapsody in Blue among numerous other ballets.

The Rose Marie Floyd Contemporary Civic Ballet is a non-profit organization, and contributions are tax-deductible.
