Ballet Austin

Ballet Austin

Ballet Austin is one of the largest classical ballet academies in the country. Each year the Ballet Austin company performs ballets from a wide variety of choreographers, including their own international award winning artistic director, Stephen Mills.

The Ballet Austin Academy offers classes from creative movement, ages three and four, all the way to pre-professional. The academy students are given the opportunity to perform in the company production The Nutcracker, performed by Ballet Austin during the month of December for more than 45 years. Ballet Austin's The Nutcracker is the longest running in the state of Texas.

Ballet Austin has now moved into a repurposed 34,000 sq/ft facility named the Butler Dance Education Center and Community School in the heart of the burgeoning downtown Austin arts district at 3rd Street and San Antonio Street. The center features administrative offices, box office, seven rehearsal studios, fully equipped Pilates studio and the AustinVentures StudioTheater with 287 seats and professional caliber lighting systems and sound.

In its new facility, Ballet Austin offers fitness and dance programs for the public, such as yoga, Pilates, adult ballet, hula, hip-hop, jazz, tap, modern and musical theater.

Ballet Austin is achieving international prominence and has performed in a State Department trip to Europe as well as at the Joyce Theater in New York City and The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
