Every performance begins long before the curtain rises.
It begins with an idea shared in the studio and grows through rehearsals, collaboration, and the dedication of artists, educators, volunteers, and supporters.
During Ballet Embody’s 2026–27 season, we’ll continue bringing artists and communities together through professional performances, educational programming, and opportunities for dancers of all ages to participate in the creative process.
Whether you’re joining us in the audience, auditioning for a production, returning to class, performing alongside us, or supporting Ballet Embody’s mission, there is a place for you in our community this season.
