American Midwest Ballet
American Midwest Ballet, formerly Ballet Nebraska, brings the beauty, athleticism, and energy of professional ballet to audiences in the Midwest and beyond. Performing at home and on tour, its mission is to provide enrichment through programs of the highest quality: professional dance performances, educational programs, and community outreach.
American Midwest Ballet’s talented professional dancers hail from around the nation and abroad. The company inspires people through its expressive performing artists, acclaimed choreographers, skilled teachers, and stunning productions.
While we had a fantastic Season 11 planned, the pandemic has put us in a very difficult position. Putting the safety of our dancers and our community first, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our performances for the remainder of 2020. Not only are we incredibly sad that we can’t perform for you, but the over half a million dollars in lost ticket revenue we are facing is a devastating financial blow.
Your support of the AMB Relief Fund will help see us through this difficult period. Gifts of all sizes will help offset these losses and allow us to support our amazing dancers and staff as much as we can in this challenging time, as well as fund our return to the stage when it’s safe to do so.
SWING, SWING, SWING!
Hoff Family Arts & Culture Center | Council Bluffs, IA
Saturday, October 3 | 7:30PM
*CANCELED*
American Midwest Ballet’s performance of Swing, Swing, Swing! scheduled for October 3, 2020 has been cancelled due to the level of risk associated with staging and performing a large-scale dance production in the midst of the current pandemic.
For those who are in a position to do so, American Midwest Ballet would be grateful if you would consider donating your tickets in this critical time. Please contact Sarah Maloney (sarah@amballet.org) to turn your tickets into a gift of support for the ballet.
Refunds for all other ticket purchases will be processed the week of August 17.
AMERICAN MIDWEST BALLET SCHOOL
The mission of American Midwest Ballet School (AMB School) is to foster a love of dance for students of all ages through exceptional training and performance opportunities.

The School's knowledgeable and experienced faculty is comprised of many current and former professional dancers. Numerous performance opportunities are available through both divisions of the School, as well as the unique opportunity to perform alongside our professional dancers in American Midwest Ballet’s The Nutcracker and other productions.
