A.V.A. Ballet Theatre is the resident ballet company of the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts. We are committed to being northern Nevada’s premiere ballet company – highlighting principal dancers from around the United States, as well as local and regional dancers and performers. Artistic director Alexander Van-Alstyne choreographs three classical ballets and one rock ballet each year. The popular Nutcracker is performed during the December holiday season and the spring and fall ballets features such favorites as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and Peter Pan. All of the classical ballets are performed to scores played by the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra. The rock ballet combines ballet grace and passionate rock, dance, Broadway and alternative music. Imagine ballerinas performing grande jetés to music by popular rock artists. What makes A.V.A. Ballet Theatre special in our community? The answer is simple, high-quality performances, exposure and education to ballet and theatre, and improved quality of life within our community.
