FAST FORWARD tickets on sale now!

February 2, 2024, 7:30pm
Hammer Theatre Center

Enjoy a fast-paced evening of new contemporary ballet. Often described by the dancers as their favorite program of the season, Fast Forward provides the opportunity for emerging choreographers, both local and from around the country, to experiment. The chance to dance work that has been created specifically for them, rather than perhaps for dancers who performed hundreds of years ago, allows New Ballet’s Company Dancers to grow as artists and to be part of the creative process. Audiences will be thrilled and inspired watching choreographic and dance artists take risks and create.

Tickets start at $10
VIP Cast Party tickets $250 - supports the creation of new works and includes a pre-show wine reception and post show cast party


“Easily the area’s leading ballet organization.” - Tad Malone, Metro Silicon Valley
