Sheldon Community Center

What happens when you combine professional ballet dancers and a random audience? #instaballet! Formed in 2013 by Eugene-based dancers Suzanne Haag and Antonio Anacan, #instaballet is an interactive way to experience ballet and choreography. This unique model uses audience ideas and suggestions to shape a new dance in real time, resulting in community created art and a ton of fun. No dance experience is needed, and all ages are welcome. Join us outside on the Sheldon Community Center grounds. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. Let’s #CreateTogether.
