Please join us for an evening of holiday magic and mystery to honor Nancy Strause, who for 47 years has worked tirelessly to make sure BalletMet creates world-class art and artists.
This year we will celebrate in BalletMet’s brand new Connector, a sparkling gathering space that welcomes our community to our dance campus.
A signature community event for over 35 years, The Nutcracker Ball is BalletMet’s premiere fundraising event. It celebrates dance and the holiday season by bringing over 350 sponsors and community leaders together for an evening of cocktails, fine dining, and dancing. Event proceeds support the BalletMet mission “To entertain, engage and educate through dance,” serving 100,000 patrons and students annually.
Tickets are no longer available.
