After a period of breathtaking change, Ballet Des Moines heads into the next season with a renewed commitment to the transformational impact that is possible when you focus on what matters. 

Our performances will celebrate the transformations that have taken place at BDM, illustrating the company’s extraordinary breadth and artistry, from beloved storybook fantasies to the dance world’s most powerful voices. Off the stage, the season will underscore the transformative impact of the arts, building on award-winning programs that are changing lives in our communities, including new partnerships with IRIS, Iowa School for the Deaf, the Harkin Institute, and Childserve.

From glass slippers to glass ceilings, stories of TRANSFORMATION will be woven throughout the season, shining light on the power the arts have to transform lives.
