Atlanta Ballet and its Centre for Dance Education staged the 28th annual Corps de Ballet Fashion Show and luncheon on Thursday, September 24, 2026, in Atlanta, Georgia. The combined event served as a fundraiser to support the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education.
The program featured a runway presentation where company dancers displayed a series of costumes that highlighted the intersection of ballet technique and contemporary fashion. Following the performance, attendees gathered for a luncheon that provided an opportunity for supporters to contribute directly to the education centre’s initiatives.
Proceeds from ticket sales, donations made during the luncheon, and any additional contributions are earmarked for the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education. The centre uses these funds to expand its curriculum, offer scholarships, and maintain outreach programs that bring dance instruction to a broader community.
This year’s show marks the 28th occurrence of the annual fashion‑focused fundraiser, a tradition the company has upheld for nearly three decades. By pairing the visual appeal of fashion with the athleticism of ballet, the event consistently creates a platform for generating charitable donations while showcasing the artistic range of the company’s corps de ballet.
The continued success of the fashion show and luncheon underscores the organization’s commitment to sustaining and growing its educational mission. As the Atlanta Ballet looks ahead, the annual fundraiser remains a central component of its strategy to secure resources for the Centre for Dance Education and to keep the tradition of merging performance with fashion alive for future audiences.
