Underwriting helps City Ballet meet our gala fundraising goal and supports:

World-class ballet performances presented on stages throughout San Diego, with five full-length productions this season

Top-tier ballet education programs, including in-theater performances for school children and our three-week pre-professional Summer Intensive training program

Programs for communities underserved by the performing arts, including after-school dance education programs, library readings with a City Ballet ballerina to create a meaningful connection between literacy and dance, free performance tickets to San Diego’s military community, and scholarships through our Diversity in Dance program
