At the start of their 2007–2008 season BNC hired husband/wife team Garrett Ammon and Dawn Fay to take over the artistic direction of the company, made a significant adjustment to their marketing campaign and established a widespread presence on the internet including profiles on Facebook and MySpace as well as video postings on YouTube.
On January 12, 2011, BNC appointed Christin Crampton Day, a former Colorado Ballet board member and public relations professional to replace Ammon Mills.
In 2012, with assistance from a grant from the Bonfils Stanton Foundation, the company rebranded as Wonderbound including a new logo and spinning The School of BNC off into an independent agency known as the Colorado Conservatory of Dance.
Wonderbound is also supported in part by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District of Adams, Broomfield, and Jefferson Counties and by the Bonfils Stanton Foundation.
[9] In 2012, Bonfils Stanton Foundation awarded Wonderbound (then Ballet Nouveau Colorado) with a three-year $75,000 grant to enable them to complete their move to Denver.
Following Robert Mills' departure BNC recruited Ballet Memphis principal dancers and married couple Garrett Ammon and Dawn Fay.
Ammon went on to reinvent BNC's Valentine's Day show, "Moulin Rouge", which had originally been presented two years earlier as a one act set in a Toulouse-Lautrec-esque Parisienne cafe choreographed by former artistic director, Robert Mills.
[15] Ammon's "Moulin Rouge", a full-length show, was a love story inspired by the 1894 Gothic horror novel Trilby, by George du Maurier and featured the hypnotist character Svengali.
Wonderbound, as a contemporary ballet company presents performances featuring all live music with modern highlights, collaborations with poets, visual artists, chefs and even illusionists.
At the beginning of BNC's 2007–2008 season the then new artistic director, Garrett Ammon premiered his ballet "Love of My Life", a performance choreographed to the music of Queen.
Accompanied by "Mediate" and "Love of My Life" was the world premiere of "An Occasional Dream", a ballet set to the songs of David Bowie.
[20][21] In 2016, Rock Ballets made a triumphant return to sold-out audiences featuring the music of Queen and David Bowie played live by a supergroup made up of Denver's Chimney Choir and Ian Cooke Band, and included a world premiere ballet "Unbroken Sky" featuring a hybrid mix of music by the two bands and choreographed by Wonderbound artist Sarah Tallman.
