Ballet Tucson was established in 1986 by Mary Beth Cabana with the goal of creating a world-class professional ballet company and school in Southern Arizona. In the spring of 2022 Margaret Mullin, a Tucson native, was named Artistic Director alongside Chieko Imada, Ballet Tucson’s Associate Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer.
The Ballet Tucson company brings five unique concerts to the stage annually that feature beloved classics and innovative new works by acclaimed choreographers, performed by professional dancers from around the world. The School of Ballet Tucson provides the opportunity for students of all ages to receive the highest caliber of dance training from accomplished instructors while developing a deep love for the art form and a means for greater self-expression.
This season was more than just movement—it was a celebration of connection, creativity, and the power of live performance.
What’s it like to be a Snowflake? We asked two Ballet Tucson Corps de Ballet dancers, Lauren Vogel and Hannah Smith, to share about their experience performing this beautiful yet challenging scene of one the world’s most beloved ballets. Our Snow Scene is an audience favorite every holiday season and is brought to you in partnership with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra!
