Don't miss Orlando Ballet's Uncorked - A behind-the-scenes look at how ballet comes to life
This exclusive event offers an up-close look at the creative process, with Orlando Ballet dancers and artistic leadership at Harriett’s Orlando Ballet Centre.
What began as an informal evening in a bar or lounge has evolved into one of Orlando Ballet’s most unique ways to experience dance.
In the early days of Uncorked, Orlando Ballet’s artistic team and dancers stepped outside the traditional theater setting to experiment, explore movement, and create. A director would bring a piece of music, gather a few dancers, and build a small work right in front of the audience. There were no elaborate sets or productions—just music, movement, and the freedom to try something new.
With a drink in hand, audiences were quite literally experiencing ballet Uncorked. Today, Uncorked has grown into an engaging and educational exploration of the art and craft of ballet, while preserving the relaxed, curious spirit of its origins. Led by Artistic Director Jorden Morris, each evening offers an inside look at the creative process as Company Dancers and Artistic Leadership develop and refine choreography.
The experience concludes with a Q&A, giving you the opportunity to connect with the artists, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of what goes into creating a dance.
Step outside the traditional theater experience and Uncork your understanding of ballet
Held limited times each year at Harriett’s Orlando Ballet Centre, Uncorked provides a rare opportunity to witness the artistry and collaboration that happens before the curtain rises.
The latest Uncorked takes place on Friday, September 25, 2026 at 7 pm, wtih future events already planned for January 22, 2027, and March 12, 2027.
Orlando has a thriving arts scene, and is home to Orlando Ballet, Opera Orlando, Orlando Philharmonic, Breakthrough Theatre Company, Osceola Arts, Orlando Sings, and more. Keep up to date with the latest theater and performing arts news from Orlando.
Uncorked takes place at Harriett’s Orlando Ballet Centre, 600 N Lake Formosa Dr. Orlando, FL 32803, and is a unique and intimate performance series that offers a behind-the-scenes look at how ballet comes to life.
