May 17th - June 22nd, 2008 (HISTORICAL)

The entire company of 44 dancers with a staff of 15 will be traveling to Shanghai, Hangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Beijing, Shenyang, and Ningbo. Special VIP sponsors and guests are also accompanying the dancers and staff on their travels.
This is the Company’s first international tour since September 2000, and only the second international tour in over 20 years.
Ballet San Jose will be the first American dance company to perform this extensively throughout China in it's newest and grandest theaters. The Ballet will be reaching out to the public with "Ballet by Day", a special educational program with dancers in our company from China acting as moderators. The Ballet will also work with local schools and professional ballet companies incorporating young dancers into our productions. All rehearsals and classes will be open to the public.
The Company has also established relationships with several Chinese dance companies and plans are being made to bring those companies to San Jose to perform.
