Overview
Smuin Ballet presents works of uncompromising quality that extend and enrich the art form. Each year the company performs more than seventy shows in four home cities across Northern California, reaching more than 35,000 people. Founded by the late Michael Smuin, the company has primarily performed its founder’s work, which blends the vocabularies of ballet, contemporary, and popular dance; in recent years, new commissions have begun to expand the company’s artistic voice. Renewed support would help the organization continue its momentum, both organizationally and onstage, as it strengthens its infrastructure, explores the feasibility of opening a ballet school, and broadens its audiences.
