    This organization was founded in 1954 as Paul E. Curtis Jr.’s Los Gatos Academy of Dance and the West Valley Ballet Foundation. The name was changed to San Jose Dance Theatre in 1966 and incorporated as a nonprofit educational organization in 1968.  Many of its alumni have gone on to professional careers in dance and ice-skating.

    San José Dance Theatre produced San Jose’s first complete version of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker in 1966 under the direction of founding directors and choreographers Paul E. Curtis, Jr. and Shawn Stuart. It is the second longest running production in the Bay Area. Only San Francisco Ballet’s production has had a longer run. By open audition, dancers from over twenty schools in the area join professional dancers for parts in The Nutcracker. This unique combination of local, regional and national performers makes this production a tradition that is truly a celebration.
