About

An artistic vision that would change Las Vegas forever came to life in 1972 and now, 50 years later, NBT invites you to an unforgettable one-night-only celebration of five glorious decades of dance. It may be happy birthday to us, but this remarkable evening is our gift to you.

The evening will feature a series of performances including our ANBT students in the delightful Circus Polka, a Pas de deux from Light Rain and James Canfield’s kaleidoscope of color and movement, Jungle.

Guests Artists Sasha De Sola and Tiit Helimets, San Francisco Ballet Principal Dancers, will delight attendees by performing White Swan Pas de Deux from Swan Lake as well as the fun and lively ballet, Drum Roll, Please!

NBT’s Future Dance Scholars will round out this exhilarating night of entertainment with a performance of Send in the Clowns, choreographed by Future Dance Scholar Alumn Jemoni Powe, who will also further delight the audience with his own self-choreographed solo as part of a special return to appearance to Las Vegas.

This is sure to be a memorable night of celebration with even more surprises in store!
