Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Long Beach Ballet’s annual fundraising gala aboard the iconic Queen Mary. We are pleased to welcome special guest Matthew Morrison, whose talent and presence will make this year’s event especially meaningful. Prepare for an evening of world-class entertainment, inspired company, and meaningful impact — all in support of the arts. ✨

This year's gala will play a pivotal role in raising vital funds for our upcoming production of Swan Lake in May. Additionally, the evening will provide crucial assistance to our dedicated performing company dancers, empowering them to continue their artistic journeys and enrich our community with their inspiring performances. We are also committed to maintaining our tuition at the most affordable rates in the region, as we have proudly done for the past 45 years. Your support will help sustain key programs, including our summer intensives in Long Beach and China, fostering opportunities for artistic growth and cross-cultural exchange.

Seats are limited! Come enjoy a night filled with live music, dancing, delicious food, and an enchanting atmosphere, all while supporting the future of the Long Beach Ballet. Your participation in this event makes a direct impact on the success of our dancers and future productions, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this special celebration!
