BBT welcomes new president and members to Board of Directors
Boca Ballet Theatre is pleased to welcome a new president and some exceptional members to our Board of Directors this year! Each brings a wide array of expertise and experience to our board, and we are honored to have them as part of our governing team. Learn more about our new president John Maggio and our incredible board members below!
Congratulations to John Maggio, our new President of BBT’s Board of Directors!
John’s time with us started when his wife began taking BBT’s adult dance classes after moving from New York to Boca Raton. Impressed with the caliber of classes, outreach programs, and collaboration with professional directors and dancers, they knew immediately that they wanted to further support BBT. In 2025, John officially joined our Board of Directors!
“In addition to preserving ballets and educating young dancers, outreach programs like BBT4PD and First Step reflect BBT’s commitment to the community,” John shared when asked about BBT’s value to the community. “Supporting young dancers as they perform alongside professionals is a unique and amazing experience, which can be life changing. The Boca Raton community is fortunate to have such an organization.”
Each year, BBT provides a variety of programming and performances to look forward to! This season, John shared his excitement over BBT’s January performance with Giordano Dance Chicago as well as our production of Romeo and Juliet in the spring. “Two very different programs speaking to the depth and breadth BBT,” John said. “With such a wonderful season ahead, I hope the Boca community will take advantage of all that BBT has to offer!”
We are thrilled to have John as our board president! We hope you’ll join us in congratulating him!
