Bringing Ballet Back To Our Community

Dear Friends,

The past 18 months have taken a dreadful toll in so many ways, and the arts are no exception. Many arts organizations closed, and many others are on the brink.

At Ventura County Ballet, we lost our primary funding source when we had to cancel our 2020 Nutcracker and all other live performances, but we didn’t lose our spirit.

While our free streaming programs are the first time our dancers have performed together indoors in over a year, they never stopped dancing – whether at home via Zoom or outdoors... even on concrete.

But our goal as always is to share our art with others … to entertain, inspire and excite the imagination.

That’s why we’re pleased to now be partnering with Namba Performing Arts Space and other local artists to celebrate the rebirth of beauty, hope and possibility for our communities and beyond.

Everyone in these performances is donating their time. Please enjoy their artistry and then please press the Donate button. We need your help now to continue to bring you the best in dance.

From the return of the Nutcracker and other full-stage productions to intimate performances in diverse venues and outreach to those who otherwise wouldn’t experience dance, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Thank you in advance for your support.
