Join us for BBT's Ballet Ball, Berkeley Ballet Theater's redesigned, community-wide, all-ages celebration featuring performances, a pledge drive, and fabulous party! We’d love for all dancers, friends, and families to join us!

Celebrations begin with appetizers, drinks, a photobooth, and the chance to purchase raffle tickets to win a selection of prizes and experiences!  The evening’s special performance features live pieces and films from BBT’s artistic programming - including the Youth Division dancers, Adult Open Division dancers, a film from the Dance for Parkinson’s disease program, and special guests from Post:ballet.

This will be a night to remember - dress in a formal and fabulous outfit and show off your style and individuality by selecting attire or accessories in your favorite hue of the radiant rainbow. Following the performance, it’s time for desserts and a party - everyone is invited to the dance floor to let loose and have fun together!

your support of the annual fund directly impacts BBT’s Programming

Proceeds from the event benefit BBT’s Annual Fund and help provide critical support for our annual operating budget. From now until the end of our 2023-2024 season, BBT is raising $45,000 for our Spring Pledge Drive, and your ticket purchase helps us get closer to our goal!

BBT has been a proud 501(c)3 non-profit organization for 43 years. Your contribution to the Annual Fund Spring Pledge Drive goes beyond a mere donation – it's an investment in the future of dance and bringing artistic exploration to dancers of all ages and backgrounds. Donations directly support BBT’s Youth, Adult, and Pre-Ballet programming: experienced faculty for classes and rehearsal, theater rentals and costumes for performances, specialized floors and equipment in our studios, live musical accompaniment, and administrative support for the dancers and faculty.

Thank you for your dedication to BBT and the transformative power of dance and this community!
