If there’s a classically trained company of the future, its’ Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. In New York last week, this striking group of 12 versatile young dancers proved that classical technique can express the hippest moods and ideas, and that contemporary ballet, when performed in a straightforward and honest manner, can indeed attract both a young and a mature audience.

Founded in 1990 by long-time Aspenite Bebe Schweppe, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet is an institution - home of a nationally recognized dance company, a center for dance education, and a gathering place for the finest dancers and choreographers in the world. Their new home at the Colorado Mountain College/Aspen campus allows them to operate under one roof -- the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet company, The School of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (in Aspen and Santa Fe) - serving local students of all ages, and the Aspen Dance Festival - a five-week summer dance series presenting critically acclaimed contemporary dance companies from across the country. 2006 marked Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s 10th Anniversary Season and The School of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s 14th Anniversary.
