For over 40 years, the Santa Clara Ballet has been bringing full scale classical ballet productions to Santa Clara, including our Annual Nutcracker production. Providing vital cultural programming, enriching the community and our young dancers and enhancing the profile of the City of Santa Clara, Santa Clara Ballet fills a void in the local education districts where both music and dance classes have been cut or reduced. Santa Clara Ballet provides young children a safe environment for artistic expression, as they learn dedication, discipline and perseverance by performing in a professional environment. Our fundraising efforts center on initiatives to ensure the future of our Nutcracker and to provide opportunities for children who would otherwise not have the means to learn ballet. Please help us by contributing your time, your expertise or financial donations to support our initiatives.
