Belk, Inc. today announced that it has renewed its partnership with Atlanta Ballet's Nutcracker through 2013. As part of the two-year agreement, Belk will continue to serve as the presenting sponsor of one of Atlanta's most popular holiday traditions, a role the company has held since 2008.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Atlanta Ballet's Nutcracker returns to the Fabulous Fox Theatre December 8 thru December 24.

Back by popular demand, Atlanta Ballet presents choreographer James Kudelka's The Four Seasons, featuring special guest artists and former company dancers Wei Donsheng and Naomi-Jane Clark, October 21-23 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.

Atlanta Ballet adds five new dancers – three professional and two apprentice - to its roster for a landmark 2011-12 season, marked by world-renowned choreographers, intriguing collaborations and avant-garde performances.

Another page has been written in Atlanta's Ballet's historic Twyla Tharp chapter. The legendary choreographer has officially titled her world premiere ballet with the company: “Twyla Tharp’s The Princess and the Goblin.”

It was history in the making today as Atlanta Ballet announced one of the most monumental collaborations of its 82-year history - a world premiere, full-evening ballet by choreographic giant Twyla Tharp.

Today, Atlanta Ballet unveiled its most dynamic season yet: an inventive repertoire featuring works from five of the world’s greatest,  living choreographers, including a pop icon, Commander of the British Empire and a Radiohead collaborator.

The LED lights used to illuminate The New York City Waterfalls after sundown will find a new home at Atlanta Ballet’s new headquarters. Public Art Fund will donate 40 LED fixtures to Atlanta Ballet, fulfilling the commitment to reuse ninety percent (90%) of The New York City Waterfalls’ construction materials in other construction projects. Now a part of this historic project will live on in Atlanta.
