Yavapai Ballet Theatre Presents: Reverence Gala

Join us for an evening of classical ballet with live accompaniment at the historic Elks Theatre.  

Yavapai Ballet Theatre is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving and sharing the art of classical ballet throughout Northern Arizona. We elevate local talent by producing high‑quality, community‑led performances and providing professional development opportunities for young artists. Our vision is a vibrant cultural hub where artistry, discipline, and collaboration thrive— inspiring audiences and cultivating a legacy of theatrical excellence.

Yavapai Ballet Theatre strengthens Northern Arizona by creating professional‑level productions that no single studio could achieve alone- uniting dancers, designers, musicians, engineers, and technicians in a collaborative hive of artistry. We provide youth with hands‑on development in dance, stagecraft, and production, led by professionals in the field, while offering financial aid and scholarships to ensure that geography or income never limits a young artist’s potential. We owe it to them- and to the next generation- to create something here that honors their work and gives them a place to thrive. Our productions bring families, businesses, and audiences together to celebrate community excellence, creativity, and legacy. In an age of automation, we elevate human creativity and build cultural traditions that last.

VIP guests enjoy premier seating followed by entry to our private post‑show cocktail reception in the luminous Crystal Hall ballroom on the third floor. This intimate fundraising event invites patrons to meet the dancers, connect with fellow supporters, savor beautifully catered offerings, and participate in a live auction that fuels YBT’s charitable initiatives and upcoming productions. It’s a rare chance to be part of the magic both onstage and behind the scenes.
