Convergence Ballet has released its 2025–2026 season.

With incoming Artistic Director Ian Parsons, the company will continue to honor its classical roots while embracing new choreography and collaborations.

The season begins with holiday favorite “The Nutcracker,” which returns to the Herberger Theater Center from Friday through Sunday, Dec. 12-14. A special student matinee will take place Wednesday, Dec. 10 in partnership with Act One.

Tickets available at convergenceballet.org.

In the spring, Convergence will return to the Dorrance Theater with its Spring Gala on April 26, 2026, with a mixed repertory program featuring original creations by Parsons.

Highlights include:

• “The Field, Before It Spoke,” a lyrical work set to Vaughan Williams’ “Six Studies in English Folksong,” tracing the threshold between memory and imagination.

• “With a Little Help from the Static,” a romp where Beatles remixes and Baroque music collide.

Additional repertory and guest artist appearances will be announced in the coming months, including a nod to Convergence’s early seasons. The company will also continue its Maricopa County Library Storybook series, offering free community performances for families across the Valley.

With its home in the studios Ballet Theatre of Phoenix, located at 6201 N. 7th St., Convergence Ballet is a company of professional dancers.
