Another way to support the School is to shop for items from the official SAB Online Store. Ideal for any student, alumni, supporter or fan, we have a large selection of clothes and accessories that will give them the chance to show off their SAB school-spirit! Whether you want to gift one of our cozy sweatshirts to a seasoned dancer or perhaps a branded onesie for a future ballet star, there is something for everyone.
NYCB Tickets
You can’t go wrong with tickets to see our affiliated company, New York City Ballet, as they celebrate their 75th season! Whether you snag tickets to see our students perform in George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker® or you select performances from the Company’s Winter or Spring offerings, your recipient will be dazzled by our incredible alumni performing in the beloved ballets of George Balanchine, as well as works by Jerome Robbins, Justin Peck, Alexei Ratmansky, Christopher Wheeldon and others.

Petit Pas – SAB Pointe Shoe Accessories
In need of something small, sweet, AND sustainable? Look no further than Petit Pas’ bracelets and accessories, made from the upcycled materials of SAB students’ dead pointe shoes. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer that simultaneously helps divert hundreds of pointe shoes from landfills. As a bonus, 50% of the proceeds go back the SAB pointe shoe fund, which helps us provide shoes for our students.
We hope these suggestions are helpful as you complete your shopping this year. Happy Holidays!
