About Us

About Lanling Ballet (Tainan City Ballet)
Established in 1997, Lanling Ballet, also called Tainan City Ballet is the very first ballet company founded in Tainan City. Over the years, Lanling has left its footprints in every corner of Tainan. Our stages span from prestigious cultural centers and museums to vibrant public plazas, parks, temple courtyards, and quiet fishing villages. By bringing classical dance into open-air venues, we bridge the gap between refined performing arts and the general public. Under the rich cultural inclusivity of Tainan, we have breathed new life into Western performing arts, making it resonate deeply with the local community and allowing citizens to experience the beautiful harmony of art and daily life. Beyond Tainan, Lanling frequently tours across Taiwan—including Taipei, Zhongli, Yuanlin, Pingtung, Taitung, Penghu, and Chiayi—leaving lasting impressions on audiences nationwide.
Artistic Vision & Innovation
While ballet remains our core form of expression, Lanling never limits itself to tradition. We are dedicated to exploring diverse performing styles and actively collaborate with artists and performing groups from various disciplines. Through these cross-disciplinary collaborations, we spark new creative inspiration, accumulate artistic energy, and expand our stylistic horizons.

Talent Cultivation & Education
Lanling’s training program for nurturing new ballet talent has achieved remarkable success. In addition to rigorous studio training, we empower dancers by building stage experience through live performances. By staging classical ballet masterpieces, we ensure that the rhythm of ballet never ceases in Tainan, while continuously promoting the elegance of ballet to every corner of the city.
