Free Outdoor Ballet Performances Brings World-Class Dance to Communities Across the Valley
PHOENIX – Ballet Arizona’s annual “Ballet Under the Stars,” presented by the Diane and Bruce Halle Foundation, returns Sept. 24 through Oct. 3 with performances at six locations across the Valley.
This free, family-friendly series brings ballet into outdoor community spaces, offering a welcoming way for new audiences to experience the art form. This year’s “Ballet Under the Stars” will feature excerpts from both classical and contemporary ballets. Audiences will get to experience parts of “Romeo & Juliet,” “Concerto Six Twenty-Two (first movement),” and “Don Quixote.”
Since its inception in 1997, “Ballet Under the Stars” has grown into a Valley tradition, drawing more than 9,000 attendees annually. Guests are invited to bring chairs, blankets and picnics to enjoy professional ballet performances staged in local parks throughout Maricopa County. Each event features a full production setup, including stage, lighting and costumes, along with local food trucks and space for
families and aspiring young dancers to participate informally.
