Description
Ballet Austin has established itself as a world-class company that makes ballet accessible to all and enhances Austin' s reputation as a city that thrives in the arts. The company has earned a place among the top 25 non-profits in the area by the Austin Business Journal. Professional dancers are recruited from around the country and the world, as well as from within the Ballet Austin Academy. Ballet Austin' s apprentice company, Ballet Austin II, offers an opportunity for dancers to hone their skills in a professional environment. While the dancers complete their training, they also serve as representatives for the company by providing arts education to schools and communities across Texas. Ballet Austin is also committed to bringing the art of dance to thousands of Central Texans who might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about ballet. Through the C.O.R.E. (Community OutReach & Education) Department, the company has developed educational initiatives that inspire students artistically and intellectually and reach 31 Central Texas school districts.
