Alabama Ballet's 13th Annual Gorham's Bluff Summer Residency

Spectacular views. Superb dancing. Splendid cuisine. All of this and more await audiences during Alabama Ballet’s outdoor performances at Gorham’s Bluff. Overlooking the Tennessee River Valley, the Bluffside Dance Tent offers patrons a matchless viewing experience. Alabama Ballet is excited to return to the Bluff for its 13th annual summer residency, a unique collaboration between Alabama Ballet and the Gorham’s Bluff Institute.... Artistic Director Tracey Alvey and Associate Artistic Director Roger Van Fleteren direct the company as they present new choreography and previews of the upcoming season. The residency provides the Alabama Ballet artistic staff the opportunity to challenge and inspire the company, encouraging them to dance new roles and explore the art of dance in a non-traditional performance setting.

For an additional fee, audience members have the option of attending the Patron’s Dinner prior to the performance. This special treat, provided by Gorham’s executive chef, takes place one hour prior to each performance.
