Exquisite Little Ballets Tickets

Exquisite Little Ballets is a signature NYTB family program designed to enchant young audiences while introducing them to the magic of live ballet. This interactive, one-hour experience invites children (ages 3 and up) to become part of the performance, making it a memorable first ballet encounter. The program originated in the NYTB repertoire as a trio of charming works—Bounces, Little Improvisations, and Debut at the Opera—each crafted to spark imagination and curiosity in young theatergoers.

NYTB, founded in 1978 by Diana Byer, is a leading chamber ballet company known for its accessible pricing, thoughtful children’s programming, and a mission to bring top-tier dance to broader audiences. Exquisite Little Ballets embodies this mission, offering a friendly, no-fuss ticket experience where families can secure their seats for delightful performances.

In 2025, Exquisite Little Ballets continued to reach new audiences with performances in New York City as part of NYTB’s Once Upon a Ballet series, including five showings of The Royal Collection at the Florence Gould Theater on April 5–6, 2025 (with showtimes at 11:00, 1:00, and 3:30 on Apr 5; 11:00 on Apr 6, plus Royal Tea Party add-ons). The company also expanded to outside NYC audiences with a performance at Jacob’s Pillow on August 14, 2025 (Henry J. Leir Stage, Becket, MA) as part of a mixed program with live music. NYTB’s 2025 Nutcracker engagement was planned for Florence Gould Theater in NYC (December 19–21, 2025).
