Tonight, we officially kicked off the 2026 Nutcracker with our Family Meeting—and what an incredible, vibrant family we have!

This season, over 100 exceptionally talented performers from all walks of life are coming together to share their passion, dedication, and energy. Together, this diverse and beautiful cast will take the stage for the 29th annual Nutcracker Ballet from December 4th through 6th.

Every single dancer, volunteer, and crew member brings a unique spark to our community, and we cannot wait to see that collective magic come alive. From our youngest Dutch Dairy to our seasoned company artists, this production belongs to all of us.

Let’s make this historic 29th year our most inclusive, breathtaking, and unforgettable season yet!

🩰 Art that moves. Values that guide.
At Champaign Urbana Ballet, our purpose has always been to create meaningful connection through the art of ballet.

For years, we have proudly anchored everything we do in two guiding values: live with curiosity and act with integrity.

For our dancers in the studio and our community across Central Illinois, these aren't new ideals—they are the foundation of who we are. We remain deeply dedicated to inspiring everyone we touch to continue to live with curiosity and act with integrity, both on and off the stage.

Thank you for being part of our ongoing journey! ✨
