Santa Barbara Festival Ballet

The annual production of nutcracker at the arlington theater provides the community with an opportunity to experience a classic ballet accompanied by full symphony orchestra. This holiday tradition is well known and well attended by a multigenerational, multicultural audience. An additional spring performance provides a second opportunity to expose the community to this art form.

Sbfb offers students the opportunity to participate in the ballet alliance - an organization that puts on festivals that provide pre-professional performance opportunity for dancers. The festivals are performing events where students can dance for adjudicators, and interact with others to further their art.
