Our Founder, Ms. Betty, believes the world needs Beauty — and we couldn’t agree more.

That belief drives all of us at Eastern Shore Ballet Theatre. Since 1991, ESBT has inspired generations of dancers and audiences, creating nearly 1,000 alumni and a lasting presence in the Delmarva community.

In August 2025, ESBT reached a major milestone: the opening of the ESBT Rehearsal and Production Space on Tilghman Road in Salisbury. Thanks to the dedication of our board of directors and volunteers, this new space is more than a studio — it is a home for creativity, community, and the enduring spirit of ballet.

This space was created to foster the causes and conditions for young dancers to thrive…To offer the community dance created for the Delmarva community…And to propel ESBT forward for another 35 seasons and beyond.

This is Betty’s Ballet Legacy.

Every gift at any level strengthens a home for the arts on the Shore, opens doors for the next generation of dancers, and ensures ballet continues to flourish in our community.
