Our 2025-2026 season starts with a BANG — welcome to Deos Ballet’s largest production of the year, COLLIDE! Featuring guest dancers from acclaimed ballet companies around the country, the return of audience favorites and world premiere works, and anchored by Tess Sinke’s original production of Stravinsky’s infamous Rite of Spring, this performance is not to be missed!

REPERTOIRE

Rite of Spring

After touring Tess Sinke’s original production of Igor Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring to Petoskey, MI with the Grand Rapids Chamber Orchestra, Deos Ballet bring the magic to Grand Rapids! Performed alongside a live recording of the GRCO, Rite of Spring brings together fierce athleticism and a haunting story of cult-like behavior, tradition, and human sacrifice.

Lamentation Variations

Martha Graham is an American dance pioneer and widely considered as the mother of modern dance. Inspired by Graham’s iconic solo work, Lamentations, this new piece explores Graham’s movement style through the lens of three female choreographers: Tess Sinke, Amy Wilson, and Christine Settembrino.

The Printer

Sinke’s hilarious comedic ballet returns! After a rib-splitting premiere in the summer of 2022, The Printer returns to the stage.

And so much more!
