"True Power of the Performing Arts"
A great TED Talk piece by Ben Cameron Highlighting the true value of performing arts to the world and society.


“My daughter has been doing ballet at Napa Valley Ballet for nearly two years, starting age 9, and her progress has amazed me. At the June recital, her confidence on stage was astounding. I remember being shocked when I realized she would be alone on the stage with two other girls and perform a long, slow deliberate dance. I was so nervous for her. But in the darkened auditorium, she came out into the lights on the stage, and began with the music. She never once looked frozen with fear or uncertain about her next move. Her poise is lovely. In her daily life, her movements have become graceful, her posture straight, her head held high, and she now hums little bits of classical music. I can't think of any other extracurricular activity that offers so much!”
- Katherine, NVB parent

Napa Valley Ballet's 2013 recital will feature the classic ballet Les Sylphides with original choreography by Michel Fokine and music by Frederic Chopin. Les Sylphides, often described as a "romantic reverie", has no plot, but instead consists of many ethereal sylphs dancing in the moonlight with a handsome poet, performed by Robert Dekkers, artistic director/Choreographer of Post:Ballet in San Francisco. He will dance with local Sylph maidens Emma Harris, Sydney Joy, Katie Suh, Isabelle LeMieux and Johanna Kittel. NVB will also be presenting Les Sylphides with a complete corps de ballet totaling twenty advanced dancers from the school.   Also on the program will be Les Oiseaux, a presentation of different birds as they appear to bird watchers on a trek through Napa Valley! Choreography for Les Oiseaux is by NVB faculty members and the short bird vignettes feature all levels of NVB students.  Climaxing the program will be an exciting new piece by Robert Dekkers featuring local professional dancers.

Please download the form if you would like to make a donation to our silent auction to support local performance arts.

NVB's Emma Harris Impresses at Lincoln Theater Reopening

Emma made a great impression on the Napa Valley Register's L. Pierce Carson given his quote in his March 27th article... Brava Emma!

"Another delightful moment came as 14-year-old Emma Harris, a member of Napa Valley Ballet, danced exquisitely “The Swan” from Camille Saint-Saens’ “Carnival of the Animals.” Harris executed what I believe was the famous Fokine choreography with beauty and grace beyond her years."
