Aspen Santa Fe Ballet has dissolved its locally based dance company and will not return after the pandemic, ending a 25-year run during which the organization toured the world to wide acclaim and became an unlikely trendsetter for contemporary dance both on-stage and off.
The nonprofit’s directors cited the novel coronavirus pandemic’s shutdown of the performing arts over the past year and pre-existing concerns about the economic sustainability of mid-sized touring companies as reasons for the decision.
