The gift of New York City Ballet’s production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®

City Ballet is back and with it a cherished holiday tradition – George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®! If you’re looking for a gift for a New York local or someone who will be in the city for the holidays, a ticket to see this magical production in person is sure to delight. But even if your recipient can’t make it to the Big Apple, you can still gift them a beautiful Livestream of a recent performance on Marquee TV! Both options feature students from the School of American Ballet in the performances, and when it comes to a holiday crowd-pleaser, this ballet is hard to beat!

Upcycled Pointe Shoe Accessories from Petit Pas

Petit Pas’ line of accessories are made from the leather and satin from dead pointe shoes, which get deconstructed and sanitized before they are reworked into bracelets, mini hairpin purses and more.

A portion of all proceeds go directly to SAB’s Pointe Shoe Fund, helping us continue to provide shoes to our students at a much more affordable cost. So, with this innovative gift you can help reduce waste, support the needs of our SAB students and gift a bit of ballet style that’s truly “on pointe!”
