For several years, Ballet Tucson did a few performances per year as the professional branch of Cabana's ballet school, using local dancers, guest artists, and students. The company now has a scheduled season of 25 weeks with 10 dancers under contract.

The opening gala features three guest artists: John Gardner, who has danced with the American Ballet Theatre and the White Oak Dance Project; Amanda McKerrow, Gardner's wife and a soloist with ABT; and Osmay Molina, who dances with the National Ballet of Cuba.
