Ballet Arizona 2021-2022 Season

Marking its 36th year, the Ballet Arizona 2021-2022 Season celebrates the return to a complete live performance season for the company.

The well-rounded programming features state and world premieres, full-length classics, neoclassical and contemporary repertoire, and closes with the company’s popular annual outdoor series at the Desert Botanical Garden.

Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev’s iconic scores for The Nutcracker and Romeo & Juliet, respectively, will fill Symphony Hall with live accompaniment by The Phoenix Symphony.

Ballet Arizona Contemporary Moves

Contemporary Moves | October 29-31 & November 5-7, 2021

Dorrance Theatre

  • In Creases by Justin Peck
  • Les Patineurs by Sir Frederick Ashton
  • Mambaz by Nayon Iovino

Contemporary Moves celebrates masterful and diverse choreography, music and tone with works from both emerging and celebrated choreographers. This program kicks off its 36th anniversary season with an evening of three short but dynamic ballets, similar to a collection of short stories.

Set to Philip Glass’ “Four Movements for Two Pianos,” In Creases showcases the virtuosity of the dancers with fast-paced and intricately patterned choreography. A true feast for the eyes and ears, In Creases kicks off Ballet Arizona’s season.

After its Ballet Arizona premiere in 2019, Les Patineurs‘ charming collection of vignettes by Sir Frederick Ashton is skating back to the stage as we gladly welcome cooler weather here in the desert. This one-act series of divertissements, evokes the movements of ice-skating and invites viewers to escape to a simpler time.

From celebrated Ballet Arizona choreographer and Company Dancer Nayon Iovino comes the electric audience favorite, Mambaz. Bringing this work back to the stage truly highlights the celebratory feel of this season. Iovino’s rich, fun and lively movement vocabulary coupled with Perez’s showmanship and energy bring the party to the stage with Mambaz.
