Support American Contemporary Ballet

Support “…one of America’s most adventurous and exciting ballet companies…" (Jim Svejda, KUSC) as we enter our 11th season. ACB is creating a future for ballet in the 21st century, and providing Los Angeles with its own unique and vital voice in this art.

You’ll be supporting a company that…

• Performs exclusively to live music (an increasing rarity) and partners with some of the finest musicians in the city.
• Has created a more intimate and exalted way to experience ballet by placing the audience up close on stage level and the performances in spectacular locations.
• Is committed to adapting the full legacy of classical ballet to works which are relevant and entertaining.

Here’s what’s new this year:

• ACB is presenting one of the greatest masterworks of the 20th century: Concerto Barocco.
• Three new ballets, made right here in Los Angeles.
  
• ACB is partnering Suki Schorer on a new kind of summer ballet intensive, giving Los Angeles students intimate access to one of the greatest legacies in ballet—Ms. Schorer has been responsible for training the top dancers for the New York City Ballet and companies all over the world for 50 years.
• ACB has launched its inaugural Trainee Program, providing an opportunity for pre-professional ballet students to train year-round with the company.
• Five new dancers!

What your donation does:

• Provides the shoes they wear. The company will spend $37,000 dollars this year on pointe shoes, which will still provide only half the amount that the dancers actually need. Let’s get the dancers their shoes!
• Provides the salaries which support our dancers.
• Provides the funds to create new works, like Homecoming and perennial favorites like The Nutcracker Suite.
• Makes sure ballet is still danced to live music!
• Helps us provide the intimate performances LA loves.

This experience isn’t available anywhere else. It is truly one-of-a-kind. By supporting ACB, you can be proud that you are helping to produce a ballet experience that is worthy to represent Los Angeles, the creative capital of the world.
