"[2] By 2007, still led by founding artistic director, Dennis Nahat, there was a resident company of 44 dancers from 14 countries in four continents, with a repertoire of over 120 traditional and modern classical ballets.
[4] In January 2012, Nahat was “ousted” and John Fry in a letter prepared by his newly appointed Executive Director Stephanie Ziesel said that his services were no longer required due to the ABT arrangement.
[10] In March 2015, with mounting debt, the company announced an emergency fundraiser in which it needed to raise $550,000 to maintain operations and cover the expenses of the rest of the season.
Ziesel was fired and under the direction of the newly appointed CEO Alan Hineline, the company was paying off debt and attempting to update its business model to be more sustainable.
[12] Upon arriving home to San Jose after a disastrous financial and artistic tour, the company performed the same program but it turned out to be the last.
The company developed a repertoire of over 120 traditional and modern classical ballets under founder Dennis Nahat, performed by dancers from Argentina, Canada, China, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Venezuela, Vietnam, and the United States.
[16] Under newly appointed artistic director José Manuel Carreño, the 2015/2016 season included a staging of Alicia Alonso's Giselle utilizing Nahat's staging of Giselle production concepts and retired Cleveland San Jose Ballet, Ballerina Karen Gabay's new Nutcracker with a production from ABT and the "Director’s Choice" mixed rep program.
The "Director’s Choice" Program included Ohad Naharin's Minus 16, Cuban Pas De Duex featuring various classics staged by José Manuel Carreño, Jorma Elo's Glow Stop, and Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's Prism.
[17] Nahat was not allowed to announce preparations for the 2012 season which were delayed, with the dancers' contract being finalized in December 2011 and rehearsals for any performances other than The Nutcracker not begun by mid-December.
[22] The company danced to recorded music for its spring 2012 repertory season, but all 2012–2013 performances are being accompanied by Symphony Silicon Valley, including new productions of The Nutcracker in December 2012, a new full-length Don Quixote was staged and performed by ABT retired principal dancer José Manual Carreño using sets and costumes from a number of Nahat productions in February 2013, as well as such pieces of mixed repertoire as Sir Frederick Ashton's Lez Rendez-vous and Thais Pas de Deux, and Clark Tippet's (Former Cleveland Ballet dancer and ABT Principal) Bruch Violin Concerto.
