Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

Join Ballet Arizona this September as the Valley’s only professional ballet company kicks off its 2025-2026 season with “Ballet Under the Stars,” a series of free performances across the Valley from Sept. 18 – 27th.

These family-friendly performances bring the beauty and excitement of ballet to six community parks, showcasing excerpts from a variety of ballets that highlight the diversity and vibrancy of the art form. Performed on a fully equipped professional stage with lighting and costumes, “Ballet Under the Stars” offers a unique opportunity to experience world-class dance in a relaxed outdoor setting.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair, enjoy local food trucks, and take advantage of plenty of space for picnicking, or for young dancers to twirl along with the show. It’s a magical night out for all ages and the perfect way to introduce children to the art of ballet. Don't miss this beloved Valley tradition that brings the stage to your neighborhood—for free!
