SNBT NextGen26 showcases the rising talent within Nevada Ballet Theatre's training programs, bringing together dancers from NBT II (the company's second ensemble) and the School of Nevada Ballet Theatre's pre-professional students. The evening presents a mix of ballet, contemporary, and modern dance works in the grand setting of Reynolds Hall, giving these advanced students a chance to perform on one of Las Vegas's premier stages.
The program features original choreography from three distinct artistic voices: Krista Baker, who serves as NBT's Rehearsal Director; Don Bellamy, a former soloist with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater who now directs NBT II; and the Shultz brothers, Payton and Skylar, who teach advanced contemporary classes at the school. This combination of classical ballet training and contemporary movement creates an evening that highlights both technical precision and artistic expression, offering a glimpse into the future of dance in Las Vegas.
