Become a Ballet Arizona Angel. For just $120 ($30 per person) you can sponsor a family of four and make it possible for them to experience the magic of the The Nutcracker.
For over 15 years, Ballet Arizona has celebrated our favorite holiday tradition, our Community Angel Nights, where we invite Arizonans in need to come and experience the magic of The Nutcracker – free of charge. As for everyone’s traditions, our Angel Nights look a little different this year, but mostly important they are not gone.
This year, we are hosting Angel Night performances at our in-house Dorrance Theatre and virtually, so families and children across Arizona are still able to celebrate the holiday season with the joy of The Nutcracker.
Our Angel Night performances reach more than 2,200 children and families served by social service agencies throughout the state who will experience these performances for free.
This season, we hope you will join us and be a Ballet Arizona Angel in your community.

“My little girl and I had to flee our home just before Christmas with nothing but the clothes on our backs. I can’t thank you enough for the tickets. You put the light back into the eyes of a 5 year old” — Angel Night attendees
“Thank you for giving us tickets. My family and I would have never gone. We say it’s a present from you guys. The dancing was wonderful. We also read The Nutcracker book and we had an awesome time. – Serenity
This program inspires and enriches our foster youth who often have little to no opportunity to see ballet, the arts and performances such as these. From the small girl who wants to be a ballerina to the teens that love the experience of dressing up to go to the theatre – we thank you!! – Angel Night Attendee
Many of our students have Never experienced the joy of watching a Ballet performance and when they have come back from Angel Night it is Magical hearing them gush over all that they were able to see and hear. They relive that night with our staff over and over throughout the school year and you know how their eyes have been opened to another world. – Angel Night Attendee
I have seen even the most quiet or indifferent students come back from Angel Night with Light and Wonder in their eyes as they now have been introduced to the World of Dance in a way they will never forget. – Angel Night Attendee
