Announcing New En Face Partner – Ballet Sun Valley

We are beyond delighted to announce that Ballet Sun Valley has joined our family of partner publications!

Ballet Sun Valley was founded by a passionate supporter of dance and a long-time Board Member of the San Francisco Ballet, Robert Smelick. Prior to forming as a non-profit organization, the predecessor of Ballet Sun Valley hosted its first Summer Festival in 2012.

Mr. Smelick believed that ballet performances by dancers of the quality of those from the San Francisco Ballet, hosted in the newly constructed Sun Valley Pavilion, would provide an unparalleled cultural experience for Sun Valley locals and visitors alike. The inaugural festival in 2012 featured twenty dancers from San Francisco Ballet, most of them Principal dancers with the company. The event sold out and received rave reviews from the audience and accolades from the dance world. Helgi Tomasson, San Francisco Ballet’s Artistic Director, praised the festival’s venue, the Sun Valley Pavilion, calling it one of the most beautiful venues in which the company had ever performed.

Since then Ballet Sun Valley touring guests have included Dutch National Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Boston, Ballet, Ballet X, and more.

Joining them for the 2024 season is the Joffrey Ballet! ⁠The Joffrey Ballet has a storied history and is celebrating almost 70 years as a premier U.S. company. They will perform two unique and distinct programs on June 29 and June 30. Tickets will be available for sale on February 1.

“It is with great honor that we announce En Face Ballet Collection’s publishing partnership with Ballet Sun Valley for their festival magazine, featuring this year’s extraordinary performance by the Joffrey Ballet. This collaboration embodies the essence of artistic excellence and the beauty of dance, in perfect alignment with En Face Ballet Collection’s profound passion. Together, let us joyously celebrate and elevate the enchanting world of ballet.”
