Hillsborough County, Fla. (April 2, 2026) - Tampa City Ballet is returning to the New Tampa Performing Arts Center this spring with an all-new show called "ERA." The Emerging & Resident Artists show features contemporary dance with four powerful choreographic voices.
For ERA, Tampa City Ballet invited choreographers from across the United States to create pieces exclusively for TCB dancers, turning the evening into a powerful choreographic showcase that highlights the strength, artistry, and athleticism of the company.
Each piece brings a completely different vision of dance to the stage, and each will be performed for the first time for the NTPAC audience. Choreographers include artists of international renown as well as performers at Tampa City Ballet.
- Christian Denice premieres Currents, a neo-classical work that explores the way the body moves in continuous flow, both individually and in connection with another.
- Osnel Delgado's Danza Macabra dives into a powerful and deeply human question: what would you do if you had one final moment before your life ended
- Jennifer Petuch brings a completely different energy to the stage, combining dance with immersive projections and digital technology that place the dancers inside a living video game.
- Marta Ortega and Brian Gonzalez are principal TCB dancers stepping forward as choreographers, sharing a new work that offers an intimate look at the creative voice emerging from within the company itself.
