Ballet Collective San Diego presents a choreographic lab for professional dancers and trainees in San Diego. We welcome choreographers of all ages and experience levels to join us for a week of creation, editing, and play in the studio without the pressure of a formal performance.

In 2025 we were honored to welcome choreographers from San Diego and national stages to spend a week creating, networking, and living in the process. 8 choreographers of varying places in their careers and nationally set new works on 10 local dancers. In 2027 hope to welcome new artists to our studios. Our hope at BCSD is that this week (May 30th - June 5th : to be confirmed) will be a respite from product and instead allows artists the freedom to mess up, change their minds, edit, and collaborate.

If it is within your means, please consider sponsoring a dancer of choreographer this year. Sponsorship perks include an invitation to rehearsals, a Q & A with the dancers and choreographers, and access to pre-sale seating at our performance at the beautiful Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center on September.

Our Choreographic Lab culminates in an informal showing at Performing Arts Workshop in Encinitas with a reception to follow. Light refreshments, adult beverages, and community discussion included!
