Go to performances at small arts organizations

I used to work for San Francisco Ballet and now I work for the small but mighty Diablo Ballet. Often dancers come to us because they want an opportunity for a bigger role than they could get at a larger org. We have dancers from all over the world. Point being artists who perform for smaller companies are so passionate about their craft. They just want to dance/act/sing/play their instrument whether they’re at a big name company or not. There are so many unbelievably talented people out there and they can’t all work for world renowned companies. Tickets will likely be more affordable too.
