"A Night at the Ballet," an event to support the performing arts community during the COVID-19 pandemic, will be streamed on YouTube December 17-20. The 60-minute program, presented by Live Arts Global, will feature dancers from American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Dance Theater of Harlem, Mariinsky Theatre, San Francisco Ballet, and former stars of the Alvin Ailey company performing excerpts from "Don Quixote," "The Nutcracker," "Romeo and Juliet" and more.

San Antonio There is still a way for you to enjoy the classic nutcracker ballet even in uncertain times like these, with Danielle Campbell Steans ingenious plan of providing a drive-In ballet experience. Danielle still hopes that it is safe enough for her dancers from the San Antonio Ballet School to be able to perform The Nutcracker live, but assuming this isnt the case then dont worry fans will still be able to get their ballet fill. The idea is to have attendees drive in and watch from the safety of their vehicles, and if it is safe enough allow them to bring lawn chairs and even possibly have live performers accompanying the pre-recording. Community auditions for supporting cast members will be on Saturday, August 29thFor more information regarding The Nutcracker and dance classes at the San Antonio Ballet School in general, head over to their website.
