What is more June than Ballet Bellevue’s bouquet of dance, bursting with beauty and love of the season?
One performance only: June 20th at 8:00 PM at Sammamish Performing Arts Center just east of downtown Bellevue (100 140th Ave. S.E., Bellevue, WA 98005).
Artistic Director, Jennifer Porter shares the billing of “fresh picked” new works with choreographers Kyle Johnson, Terry McKinnon and Richard Hankes and composer Kevin Harkins.

Because it’s June, Mendelssohn's “Wedding March” will not be left off the program!
