NBT Past & Present

In 2019 NBT was ecstatic to honor the legendary Rita Moreno as our Woman of the Year at the Black & White Ball. The opportunity to spend an evening with one of the most cherished women in America was surpassed only by her graciousness, humor and joy. From beginning to end Rita lit up the ballroom with her smile and warmth. It was truly an evening that will not soon be forgotten.  Enjoy this look back at the 2019 Black & White Ball courtesy of Cashman Photography.
 

In 2008 NBT joined forces with Cirque du Soleil® to create a new, one-of-a-kind collaboration that would bolster artistic talent and create dynamic new works for the stage which combined the grace of ballet and the kinetic energy of Cirque. This new event became the must-see event each fall for those in Las Vegas who craved bold original works resulting from the mash-up of these two iconic cultural institutions.

Twelve years later, A Choreographers’ Showcase continues to dazzle audiences each year. The production features over sixty performers including Cirque du Soleil artists, NBT Professional Company Artists, students from NBT’s Academy and students from NBT’s Future Dance Program.  Enjoy this look back at the 2019 performance, through the lens of photographer Virginia Trudeau.
