Benefit for Kansas City Ballet and Kansas City Ballet School
November 20, 2021
Loews Kansas City Hotel

(Benefactor Party is November 18 at Bolender Center)

In celebration of the return of the performing arts in our community, the Kansas City Ballet Guild is proud to kick-off the coming holiday season with the 54th annual Nutcracker Ball.

All proceeds from the Nutcracker Ball support Kansas City Ballet. Your gift as a benefactor allows the company to continue providing outstanding classical ballets, contemporary world premieres and exciting works from gifted international choreographers. The Ball also supports educational and engagement programs for all in our community as well as scholarships for students in the Kansas City Ballet School.

The Loews Hotel provides the ideal setting for this joyous event with a modern look and stunning views of the Kansas City skyline. The ballroom sparkles with its chandeliers and inviting colors of blue and cream offering a welcoming hospitality for guests to mingle, dine and dance the night away. This fundraising event is more important than ever. When main stage productions and engagement programs resume, Kansas City Ballet needs to be fully prepared. With your help, Kansas City Ballet will once again provide our whole community with transformational performances, fulfilling its mission of inspiring and engaging people in our community and beyond through dance.

Single tickets on sale August 2021: www.kcballetball.org

“Thresholds are dangerous places, neither here nor there, and walking across one is like stepping off the edge of a cliff in the naïve faith that you’ll sprout wings halfway down. You can’t hesitate or doubt. You can’t fear the in-between.”― Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January
