Dance through time at The National Ballet of Canada's MAD HOT BALLET with our bold New Wave theme. Embrace the fearless spirit and creative explosion of the early 80s with vibrant, boundary-pushing fashion and a rebellious energy.
One of the most highly anticipated evenings on Toronto’s social calendar, MAD HOT BALLET draws together dance lovers, trendsetters and culture connoisseurs for a one-night-only celebration of ballet – and a healthy dose of fashion.
Dress your New Wave best and be prepared to spin right round and burn down the house.
MAD HOT BALLET is The National Ballet of Canada’s most important fundraising event and since 2007, has raised over $17 million to support the company’s Community Engagement programmes. This year, MAD HOT BALLET: New Wave aims to raise $1 million for these vital initiatives in just one unforgettable evening!
Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts is at 145 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON.
