Ballet Arizona

The leading professional ballet company of the American Southwest, Ballet Arizona has brought classical and contemporary dance to Phoenix audiences since 1986. Under the long tenure of artistic director Ib Andersen, a former principal dancer with New York City Ballet, the company has developed a distinctive neoclassical voice celebrated for its musicality and elegance. Its innovative outdoor desert performances, staged against the dramatic red rock landscapes of Sedona and the Desert Botanical Garden, have become signature events unlike anything else in American dance.
