Ballet Yuma
Description
As Ballet Yuma celebrates its 11th Season, it is carving its place as a prismatic focal point of the city's cultural life and aspirations. Kathleen Sinclair and Jon Cristofori, Artistic Directors for Ballet Yuma, have trained their dancers to such an incredible degree of technical and creative heights, elevating them to prominence and a higher standard and setting them apart from the crowd. Anyone who's spent a charmed afternoon or an enchanted evening at a Ballet Yuma performance will find it hard to disagree. The urban arts experience is here! Ballet Yuma is a company that is both classically based and cutting-edge, artistically disciplined and infectiously spirited, nationally significant and uniquely Yuman. Renowned for a remarkable attention to technical and creative imagery, works include original ballets by Jon Cristofori, commissioned works from innovative young choreographers (some of whom were given their first regional exposure by Ballet Yuma), meticulous reconstructions of early 20th-century masterworks and wonderfully colorful and exhilarating productions for children. Through its community outreach programs, Ballet Yuma brings dance and arts education to the Yuma public schools, presenting full-length storybook ballets in the Spring and the full-length version of The Nutcracker during the holiday season.
Further setting us apart is the fact that Ballet Yuma is currently the only company in the entire state of Arizona to belong to the prestigious organization Regional Dance America, and has achieved and maintained Honor Company status, the highest level for a preprofessional company. We are proud to represent Yuma with such high achievements, and are excited to give back to our community!
Ballet Yuma is able to provide our local dancers with individual opportunities in the area of dance scholarships and employment with Internationally recognized professional dance companies. Several graduates of Ballet Yuma have gone on to have professional careers with such prestigious companies as Sacramento Ballet, Les Ballet Trockadero de Monte Carlo, San Francisco Ballet, Ballet Memphis, Miami City Ballet, and Texas Ballet Theater, among others. All are distinguished professionals whom have taken the training they received with Ballet Yuma and translated it into their own personal success story.
