For 25 years, we’ve presented groundbreaking performances and an experience of dance that is entertaining, evocative, and original. This season, we are delighted to revisit several beloved Michael Smuin favorites and look to the future with a dynamic world premiere from Amy Seiwert, and works created by dancers in the company.
2018/19 Season
• Michael Smuin’s Eternal Idol, his seminal 1969 work inspired by the Auguste Rodin sculpture
• Michael Smuin’s final ballet, the exuberant Schubert Scherzo
• Original works by Company dancers Nicole Haskins, Ben Needham-Wood, and Rex Wheeler
• Trey McIntyre’s Blue Until June, a thrilling, emotional tribute to Etta James
• The Best of Smuin: a stunning tour of Michael Smuin’s greatest creations from Dancin’ with Gershwin to Frankie & Johnny
• WORLD PREMIERE: Renowned Bay Area choreographer Amy Seiwert creates an inventive new work
• It’s not the holidays in the Bay Area without the wildly popular tradition, The Christmas Ballet, offering new and unexpected additions
