Ana Claire is a passionate teacher, dedicated to helping students achieve technical excellence while nurturing their individual artistry, and many of her students have gone on to professional careers in dance. She was appointed Co-Artistic Director of Boulder Ballet in 2004 and became sole Artistic Director in 2015. Honoring her contributions to ballet in Colorado, Ana was inducted into the University of Denver’s Carson Brierly Giffin Dance Library “Legends of Dance” in 2018.

Boulder Ballet will soon present one of Colorado’s major productions of the holiday season : The Nutcracker. With a cast of over 80 dancers including the professional company and charming young student dancers, gorgeous scenery and special effects, and of course Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra and the Longmont Symphony Orchestra, this is a spectacle you won't want to miss.

Share it with Family & Friends over Thanksgiving Weekend! There are performances in Boulder (November 29 - December 1). The following weekend they are in Longmont (December 7-8) with also a "Gentle Nutcracker" performance for individuals with special needs and their families.

The Renaissance Project, led by Jeremy Reger, is a Boulder-based a cappella choir of  skilled amateur and professional singers that focuses on Renaissance motets, other Renaissance pieces, and music of a similar aesthetic.

The singers find this music to be transformative and ecstatic and are delighted to share it with the community.

The mission of The Renaissance Project is to create opportunities for people to sing, learn about, and perform great choral music of the Renaissance and other periods in a small-choir setting. Get on their mailing list and learn more. And check out their upcoming concert: Saints and Sinners: Contrasts Within the English Renaissance.
