A message from CCB’S incoming leadership:
We are thrilled to announce that we will be returning to the Bay Area this August as the new Artistic Directors of Contra Costa Ballet.
This is more than a new chapter, a full-circle moment. As Bay Area natives and former professional dancers shaped by some of the finest training in the world, we are deeply honored to take the helm of an institution with such a rich 50-year legacy. Contra Costa Ballet has long been a pillar of classical ballet in the East Bay, and we are excited to carry that legacy forward with renewed vision, energy, and purpose.
Our goal is to build on the school’s strong foundation by creating an environment where students are rigorously trained, artistically challenged, and supported at every stage of their development. We look forward to bringing our professional experience, our passion for mentorship, and our commitment to excellence to CCB.
To our new (and longtime) Bay Area community—we can’t wait to get started and are so excited about what’s ahead.
With gratitude,
Aaron & Kristin Orza
