SUPPORT AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY BALLET

Support “…one of America’s most adventurous and exciting ballet companies…" (Jim Svejda, KUSC) as we enter our 12th 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.
• Creates a more intimate and exalted way to experience ballet by placing the audience up close on stage level and the performances in spectacular locations.
• Adapts the full legacy of classical ballet to works which are relevant and entertaining.

Here’s what’s new this year:

• Three new ballets, made right here in Los Angeles.
• Six new dancers
• A one-of-a-kind ballet intensive - ACB is partnering with Suki Schorer to give 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.

What your donation does:

• Provides the shoes our dancers wear. The company will spend $50,000 dollars this year on pointe shoes, which is still only half the amount our dancers actually need. Let’s get the dancers their shoes!
• Provides the salaries which support our dancers.
• Provides the funds to create new works, such as Sapphires and perennial favorites such as The Nutcracker Suite.
• Makes sure ballet is still danced to live music!
• Helps us provide the exhilarating and intimate performances LA loves.

When you support ACB, you can be proud that you are helping to produce an experience unlike any other, and one-of-a-kind ballets worthy of representing Los Angeles, the creative capital of the world.

With tremendous thanks for your support,
The artists and staff of American Contemporary Ballet
