According to festival director and former Paris Opera Ballet dancer Val_ry Colin, future festivals will either follow the format of this summer's—organized around a single ballet company—or else will be organized around a choreographer or dancer.

The San Francisco Ballet will give a total of 13 performances of three programs: artistic director Helgi Tomasson and choreographer Yuri Possokhov's Don Quixote; a program of works by Tomasson and George Balanchine; and a slate of new works by Paul Taylor, Lar Lubovitch, and Christopher Wheeldon.
