The Company
Ballet Taos is a catalyst for dance in Northern New Mexico. In December 2016, with the support of our patrons in the Taos community, Ballet Taos was born. Within our first season, we performed four full-length ballets at the Taos Center of the Arts to sold-out audiences, sharing the joy of dance with thousands.
Ballet Taos debuted its first original contemporary ballet, Mechanical Nature: Movement VII, in May of 2017. Through provocative film and extraordinary choreography, this work explored the human condition and shed light on global issues we collectively face today. This collaborative work gave dancers’ a voice and a means to positively impact audiences through their art form.
