BecomE a Red Shoes Sponsor

Ventura County Ballet is proud to celebrate it’s 26th year of bringing full-scale ballet productions and community arts performances to our region. We rely on sponsors and grants to bring our productions to life and to make community outreach performances possible. The professionalism of our dazzling productions not only benefit the community, but also gives our VCB participants the opportunity to dance with talented professionals and pre-professional dancers.

This season, through the success of our dedicated orchestra fund we’re able to have the accompaniment of a live, professional orchestra for our Nutcracker performances December 7-8, 2024, which we haven’t been able to do since 2019. Adding a live orchestra to Ventura County Ballet’s Nutcracker greatly enriches the performance by enhancing artistic expression and fostering a deeper emotional connection between patrons and artists alike. The dynamic interaction between dancers, musicians, and audience is magical!
