World Ballet Day 2022 | San Francisco Ballet - Video

#WorldBalletDay is back, and we are proud to participate in the global celebration that brings together more than 50 of the world’s leading ballet companies to celebrate dance.

As part of #WorldBalletDay, you’ll see some fan favorites and get a glimpse of next@90 festival artists and their world premiere works. And you’ll enjoy a dance film featuring the talented dancers from SF Ballet School. Subscribe to our channel to catch previews of all nine new works in the upcoming next@90 festival.

The 2023 Season is special for us—we’re celebrating SF Ballet’s 90th anniversary and focusing on the future. This momentous day allows everyone who loves ballet to take time and appreciate this meaningful art form that evokes emotion as only dance can.

This video has chapters so you can easily rewatch your favorite parts again. You may watch SF Ballet’s World Ballet Day video as often as you wish until 12/1 at 5:00PM PDT.

As you immerse yourself in our programming for World Ballet Day, we hope you will consider making a gift to San Francisco Ballet that will help us empower and transform young ballet lovers to pursue their dreams through our Education programs and at the SF Ballet School.
