So grateful to @eugeneweekly for featuring #instaballet earlier this month! It was so fun to see our work and the heart behind #instaballet shared with the community. Thank you to Ester Barkai for coming out and helping tell our story. We love getting to make dance ✨with✨ our community, and we’re grateful to have that work recognized. ❤️ Go check out the full feature, “Ballet by and for the People,” in Eugene Weekly! #instaballet #EugeneWeekly #CreateTogether

Happy Monday, #instaballet friends. We hope you had a great day ❤️

A huge thank you to the amazing community partners who helped make our last #instaballet of the season so special ❤️ ✨ Harvest Valley Electric as the official event sponsor 🩰 Eugene Ballet for providing the flooring 🎭 St. Vincent de Paul for the costumes 🍷 Capitello Wines for generously donating the use of their space We truly couldn’t do what we do without the businesses and organizations who show up for the local arts and help us create these one-of-a-kind nights. And of course, thank you to everyone who came out, created with us, and helped bring the whole thing to life. We love this community. ❤️

From rehearsal to performance 🎶 Live music makes an #instaballet extra special 🤩 The audience gets to help shape the dance, but they’re also helping shape the music as it’s being created. Nothing is totally locked in, which means we get to listen, react, take some chances, and see where it goes. That’s kind of the magic of it 🙂‍↔️ A little behind-the-scenes peek at our last #instaballet at @capitellowines for @laneartscouncil First Friday ArtWalk, with Jeremy Wegner + Ben Latorraca. ✨

Last #instaballet of the season 🥹 Feeling so grateful for this amazing community that keeps showing up, supporting us, and making this magic possible. xoxo, #instaballet ❤️

✨ It’s our LAST #instaballet of the season, and we’re taking over Capitello Wines for First Friday ArtWalk! 💃🎶 The music is composed live as the dance unfolds, with dancers and musicians listening, responding, and bringing YOUR ideas to life in real time. It’s spontaneous, collaborative, and never quite the same twice. ✨ And tonight, we’re excited to welcome Jeremy Wegner to his first #instaballet, joining pianist Ben LaTorraca on mandolin! Come create with us one last time this season. 💫 See you there! 📍 Capitello Wines 🗓️ TONIGHT • September 4 • 5:30-8 pm #eugeneevents #eugeneart #firstfridayartwalk

We are truly blown away by the support our community showed us at heART in Motion. We set a goal of $60,000, and together, you helped us raise an incredible $75,165. This support allows us to continue our mission of empowering people through dance and, importantly, to invest in the artists and staff who make this work possible by helping us pay a living wage. We are so grateful to every person who donated, sponsored, volunteered, bought a ticket, shared our work, or simply showed up. Thank you for believing in #instaballet. Thank you for believing in the power of dance. And thank you for showing us the magic of community. ❤️✨
