The Washington Ballet announces its 2025/2026 Performance Season!
The Washington Ballet has announced it’s 25/26 season, and Dancing in the District is happy to report we have been welcomed to return and review!
“This year, we’re digging deeper and embracing the raw energy of who we are at The Washington Ballet. We’re going beyond presenting dance; we’re creating a living dialogue with our community. We want gasps, tears, and the kind of reaction that leaves you breathless.. We’re striving for authenticity: performances that are personal, relevant, and real. This season every show will feature students from The Washington School of Ballet alongside our professional dancers—reaffirming our commitment to both world-class, professional performance and dance education.”
Edwaard Liang, Artistic Director TWB
