Ardani Artists was founded in 1990 by Gaia and Sergei Danilian, two of the most innovative and award-winning producers of performing arts in the world. Though their passion for dance and theatre started in Russia, they arrived in America as immigrants with a dream and a vision.
For 30 years they've been integral in discovering, and supporting young talented dancers and choreographers around the globe, and inspiring audiences along the way.
Ardani Artists has had the honor to bring the following companies to stages near you: The Bolshoi Ballet, the Mariinksy Theatre, Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg, Complexions, Ballet de Monte Carlo, Merce Cunningham Company, the Limón Dance Company, Pilobolus, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, and The Mikhailovsky Ballet.
The Dancer’s we’ve had the privelege of working with include Diana Vishneva, Natalia Osipova, Maria Abashova, Maria Kochetkova, Ekaterina Shipulina, Polina Semionova, Ekaterina Krysanova, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Roberto Bolle, Marcelo Gomes, Desmond Richardson, Denis Matvienko, David Hallberg, Guillaume Cote, and Ivan Vasiliev.

During these unprecedented times, due to the COVID-19 pandemic Ardani Artists was forced to cancel multiple tours and performances this year. All of us who have been an essential part of this family are reaching out to ask for your assistance. The company employs up to 10 people in staff for our touring seasons, while working with 100's of individuals to ensure that we bring you the ballet companies that you have come to love and look forward to each year
These individuals have become like family to us, and we would like to help them to provide for their families. Many are now under financial distress due to these cancelled tours. Your contribution will help us provide much-needed financial support to members of the Ardani Artists staff and crew whose main sources of income are from live performances
From producing dance spectaculars, inspiring our community, and bringing the joy of movement to you show after show, we have dedicated our lives to help creating the best the dance world has to offer. We’re now in an unimaginable circumstance of relying on the kindness of our local and greater communities to support our team.
We know this is an extremely challenging time for everyone, and we understand that not everyone who has come to love and cherish the performances we've produced will be able to contribute. If you can’t donate at this time, sharing will cost you nothing but the kindness in your heart, so we kindly ask that you please spread the word about this fundraiser. We are doing our best to keep our heads up and keep the smiles shining as we do every time you see us at our events. Every contribution matters and we hope you can help us through these tough times.
With your help, we can recover after this pandemic and get back to creating and sharing the productions we are known for. To help the initiative of reaching its goal, Ardani Artists will be supporting this campaign with the following:
