Founded in 2020, Ballet22 exists to push the boundaries of what is possible in ballet by producing and presenting works that break gender normative traditions, specifically by presenting men, trands, and non binary dancers en pointe. Ballet22 is dedicated to commissioning new works that amplify LGBTQ+ representation and voices on the ballet stage.

Ballet22 rehearses each summer at BlackBox Studios under the Direction of Daniel R. Durrett, Lorris Eichinger, and Theresa Knudson.
