BALLET SAN JOSE'S 2008-09 Season Features Five World Premieres and Three Company Premieres

Ballet San Jose’s four main offerings of the 23rd season in Silicon Valley will feature a story ballet by August Bournonville that is unique to Ballet San Jose’s repertory, the re-staging of one of Dennis Nahat’s most popular comedic ballets, three Company premieres by dance legends and five world premiere ballets by members of the Company.  The holiday season will be heralded by an extended run of THE NUTCRACKER, and the extremely popular ‘Children’s Series’ will return for it’s sixth season.

“I am so excited by next season’s lineup,” said Artistic/Executive Directory Dennis Nahat.  “The dancers will have taken some very well-deserved time off after a tremendously successful 2007-2008 season and our huge five-week tour to eight cities in China.  They have been dancing better than ever, and now, not only will they be performing some of the biggest ballets in our repertory, but they will be learning so many brand new pieces.  And five of our dancers will be premiering their own works.  It just doesn’t get much better than this.”
