Experience the excitement of a world premiere dance…for FREE!?! ABT II helps kick off the Webb Centers 10th Anniversary Season with a free performance as our gift to you!

ABTII is comprised of twelve young dancers (ages 16-19) handpicked from around the world. It serves as the training ground for the full ABT Company, which has been home to ballet superstars like Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gelsey Kirkland, and Robert La Fosse. Returning for the third year under the artistic direction of Wes Chapman, this classical dance company will present pieces from their renowned repertoire and the new dance created during their Flying E Ranch Residency. Seating is reserved.

“There was a purity…that was inspiring: A bare stage, marvelous costumes, a smart mix of classic and contemporary ballet. And most important, a group of poised young dancers on the cusp of their careers.” - John Fleming, Critics Circle, tampabay.com
