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, Modern Dance companies and Broadway Musicals.

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