Year-end school performance by the Students of Sacramento Ballet
May 16-17, 2026 – McClatchy High School Auditorium
Join us as we celebrate a year of growth, dedication, and artistry as our students bring their training to life.
En Scène
Children’s Division Recital
The journey begins with a single step—and for our youngest dancers, that step leads to the stage.
En Scène celebrates the early foundations of ballet training, where imagination, musicality, and discipline first take shape. From Creative Movement through Ballet Fundamentals, these students are discovering not only the vocabulary of dance, but the joy of expression and the quiet confidence that comes from learning something new.
Presented in a true theater setting, this special performance offers our dancers their first experience under the lights—an introduction to the artistry and tradition that define the classical stage. Inspired by the timeless beauty of Degas, En Scène captures a moment of becoming: young artists poised at the threshold of their dance journey.
We invite you to share in this joyful and meaningful milestone.
