Copper Coin Ballet Company’s 2026 season brings a vibrant mix of energy and artistry to the stage. We kick things off with Rockballet, sponsored by Carrollton Bank. Rockballet, an exciting blend of classical ballet and iconic rock music, returns to The Muni on September 12. The holiday season begins with The Nutcracker at UIS on December 5 & 6, a festive favorite filled with magic and tradition. We close the season with the sweeping beauty of Swan Lake at UIS on April 17, a powerful and timeless classic that showcases the strength and storytelling of ballet.

Copper Coin Ballet Company is proud to recognize Shirley Y. Thomas as the sponsor of our Guest Artist Program. Through her generous support, we are able to bring exceptional artists and educators to our dancers and community, enriching the artistic experience and helping to inspire the next generation of performers. We are deeply grateful for her commitment to the arts and to the mission of Copper Coin Ballet Company.
