The Seoul City Ballet is the third public ballet company established in Korea after the National Ballet and Gwangju City Ballet, founded 48 years ago, and is the first public contemporary ballet company in the country. In January, dancers for the 2024 season were selected through auditions, and dancers who will perform through the 2026 season were also chosen via auditions, with activities scheduled to begin in September.

The Seoul City Ballet operates based on professionalism and flexibility, producing performances through a customized production system centered on choreographers, dancers, and works. In April, they successfully completed the pre-inaugural performance "The Rite of Spring," and following "A Midsummer Night's Dream," they plan to perform a double bill at the Sejong Center M Theater in October.
