Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Orange County’s premiere resident ballet company with an exciting gala performance where world-renowned ballet artists share their love and expertise of the craft with future, inspired young stars. The young protégés have been selected as standout performers by visiting artistic directors of the Southland Ballet Academy International Summer Intensive and the prestigious Youth America Grand Prix. The often sold-out performance is a rare opportunity for Orange County audiences to see dancers from different companies in a combined program that celebrates the continue art and passion of ballet.

As Festival Ballet Theatre honors their 30th anniversary, they continue to uphold their commitment to bringing the best of professional dance to their Orange County home. The “Gala” presents an unprecedented opportunity to see future stars and current stars connecting through the same language of dance.
