Performance Hour
Get a glimpse of the inner workings of a professional ballet company!
Performance Hour gives students and community groups a glimpse into the behind the scenes of a professional ballet company! This program is an immersive arts experience that allows attendees to examine all of the working parts of our organization that bring the magic to the stage.
Each Performance Hour event features:
- Tour and discussion of the administrative, costume, and production facilities
- A movement experience
- A ballet class demonstration by the Ballet Arizona Studio Company
- A preview of upcoming works by Ballet Arizona’s professional company dancers
Performance Hour is the perfect field trip experience before heading to the theater for a Student Matinee!
