BalletNEXT Unveils Inaugural Summer Series in its New Park City Home

BalletNEXT is a nonprofit organization creating dynamic, dance-driven collaborations in Park City! This summer, they’re launching their first-ever summer series, bringing dancers from American Ballet Theatre in New York and The Sarasota Ballet in Florida to collaborate with local talent and Utah-based musicians. 

During the month of July, BalletNEXT will be performing around Park City. Each performance will feature dancers alongside instrumentalists on the piano, violin, and Spanish guitar. Between morning and evening performances, there’s sure to be a performance that piques your interest and fits within your schedule. Tickets can be purchased here for the following performances:

For young talent, BalletNEXT fosters performance opportunities, training programs, and a curriculum for artistic growth. Artistic Director Michele Wiles was formerly principal ballerina with American Ballet Theatre, and one of New York’s most well-known and acclaimed dancers. She’s brought her talent to the Utah mountains with the hopes of showcasing forward-focused choreography in collaboration with live music. 

We hope to see you at a BalletNEXT performance later this month!
