Nouveau Chamber Ballet

Since its founding in 1988 by Lois Ellyn, Nouveau Chamber Ballet has been enriching the community through performances and education in the arts. The company's diverse repertoire encompasses classical ballet, contemporary dance and original works. Through these works, aspiring dancers, choreographers, musicians and designers receive invaluable theater experience and the community enjoys first class performances that are the result of their efforts.

 

As a non-profit organization, Nouveau Chamber Ballet participates in cultural education programs throughout the community. The company regularly performs for school children in the Orange County area. Also, the "Sponsor a School" program enables young children the opportunity to attend The Nutcracker ballet performance each December.

 

Nouveau Chamber Ballet has an adjunct ballet school, which offers a full range of classes, from pre-ballet to professional level, for students of all ages. The staff, led by Artistic Director Sheree King, has years of teaching and performing experience and are committed to providing the highest caliber of dance instruction.
