Christmas in July!

Every holiday season the Mouse King has one wish... to defeat The Nutcracker in an epic battle with the toy soldiers and Clara.

Will this year be THE YEAR?! We don't think so!

Instead of training, it looks like he's just lounging by the pool and dreaming of American cheese.

As YOU enjoy the warmth of summer, you may find it's not too early to have visions of sugarplums (or cheese) dancing in your head.

Our skilled dancers and audiences of children and families count on your support to help bring those unforgettable visions to life in our annual production of The Nutcracker .

Your generous donation helps the Springfield Ballet Company thrive in a world where funding for the arts continues to fall short.

We sincerely thank you for your continued support and for making our Christmas in July campaign a great success!

Park with Rotary Club of Springfield Sunrise and help SBC!

SBC is grateful to Rotary Club of Springfield Sunrise for their continued financial support of our Boys & Girls Clubs Ballet Outreach Program!

Over the past 10 years, Rotary Club of Springfield Sunrise has distributed over $150,000 to local organizations benefiting at-risk children. SBC has been a grant recipient since 2014!

Parking in their parking lot during the Illinois State Fair helps them to continue to support local children and the organizations that strive to serve them. Support them to support us!
