Nashville Ballet

Movement Taking Form captures what happens when ideas become expression, when discipline becomes artistry, and when a company begins to reveal, with greater confidence, the shape of its future. 

Experience our 26/27 programming in its entirety to see a larger story unfold, with one performance deepening and illuminating the next. Begin the season journey with Live in Studio A and enjoy the brilliance of George Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante alongside four original new contemporary works, offering an intimate and immediate look at the creative energy alive within this organization. Enter the enduring world of Giselle, one of the great masterworks of classical ballet. Rich with beauty, lyricism, and emotional depth, this also marks Artistic Director and CEO Nick Mullikin’s first full-length ballet. Celebrate Mexican holiday tradition with us as we proudly present Maria A. Konrad’s Día de los Muertos at the end of October. Welcome the winter season with the return of Nashville’s Nutcracker, Middle Tennessee’s treasured holiday tradition. Fall in love with Paul Vasterling’s Cinderella in February, a ballet filled with charm, theatricality, and heart. End the season with our annual Attitude series featuring the return of Nick Mullikin’s critically acclaimed Erase the Night—a bold and contemporary expression of hope, aspiration, and overcoming adversity. 

Witness a company in motion and be a part of what it is becoming. Whether you have been with Nashville Ballet for many years or are considering joining us for the first time, we look forward to sharing this experience with you.
