Join us for our annual Spring Rep featuring Contra Costa Ballet Dancers in spectacular professionally produced productions each year. Our dancers are coached in featured roles by our world-class faculty.
​
STUDENT SHOWCASE
The Lesher Center for the Arts
​
For over 50 years, the Contra Costa Ballet Centre has been one of the most prominent classical ballet schools in California. Its annual Student Showcase is a collection of choreographed pieces that demonstrate the breadth of each level’s training over the course of the school year. Audience members have the unique experience of viewing the development of a dancer from budding pre-ballerina to aspiring professional. The performance culminates with the Contra Costa Ballet Company – the Centre’s highest level of achievement.
THE NUTCRACKER
The Lesher Center for the Arts
​
Celebrating 34 years of The Nutcracker! For one weekend only, join Clara and her beloved nutcracker-turned-prince on a magical journey among giant mice and toy soldiers into the deliciously-delightful Candy Kingdom. Contra Costa Ballet brings The Nutcracker to life in this festive production filled with colorful costumes, whimsical sets and an array of talented, young dancers. This one-hour performance is an elegant introduction to the holiday classic.
