苏州芭蕾舞团成立于2007年，是江苏省唯一的专业芭蕾舞团，演员均来自国内外一流院团。2018年，苏芭独立注册运营，成为苏州新时代文体会展集团旗下全资子公司。2021年，为加快苏芭的全面发展，苏州市委宣传部和苏州工业园区决定共建苏州芭蕾舞团。
成立以来，苏芭以“国内一流、国际知名”为发展方向，坚持“以演员为中心，以演出为中心”的建团宗旨，先后创排了《罗密欧与朱丽叶》《西施》《胡桃夹子》《唐寅》《天鹅湖》《我的名字叫丁香》等九部大型舞剧；创作了多部富有特色的现代芭蕾及展现苏州风韵的舞蹈作品。在传承中，苏芭用创新理念打造出别具一格的“江南芭蕾”。作为国有专业文艺院团，苏芭充分履行使命担当，成功打造出“苏州有芭蕾”与“舞蹈大师系列讲座”两大艺术教育品牌，持续为提高苏州市民的芭蕾艺术素养和美育水平做出应有的贡献。
自2014年起，苏芭的多部舞剧先后入选国家、省、市各级艺术基金等资助项目，并多次受国家文化和旅游部等委派开展国际文化交流活动，演出足迹遍布中国及法国、德国、荷兰、比利时、新加坡、波兰、卡塔尔、巴林、土耳其、拉脱维亚、阿曼等全球10多个国家70余座城市。
苏州芭蕾舞团正在不断积累沉淀，并致力于发展为一个富有创新与活力的芭蕾舞团。现任团长王全兴，艺术总监李莹、潘家斌。
