Dance company 'Ballo' is a non-profit, non-governmental organization whose mission is to promote and develop ballet art in Montenegro especially through contemporary dance. 'Ballo' is the only company of this kind in the country which makes our mission even more demanding.
'Ballo' was founded in 2000. Company currently consists of 15 dancers, and it's led by two choreographers: Tamara Vujošević-Mandić and Slavka Nelević. All dancers have elementary ballet technique which was upgraded during the years in the company with leading and guest choreographers.
It's important to emphasize that ballet art is underdeveloped in Montenegro, and there is no professional ballet ensemble. This is why our mission is to contribute to creation of such ensembles in the future through creation of dance performances on a professional level.
Over the years, we produced seven projects/performances, performed at many stages, and participated in different dance workshops. We performed at all stages in Montenegro, several stages in the region (festivals in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina), and several times outside the region (in USA, Italy and China). Ballo was honored to receive twice the award of 'Bijenale crnogorskog teatra' for our projects/performances 'Cocoon' and 'Maybe in a café'.
We are always looking for new ways to upgrade our technique through workshops or new projects, so don't hesitate to contact us if you see possibility for cooperation.
