Our Vision

 A ballet world free of socioeconomic barriers, body shaming, and toxic environments—one that celebrates dancers’ athleticism, technique, and artistry regardless of skin color, gender identity, or body type and creates powerful work reflecting the diverse voices of the community.

Programs & Performances

Through our Dance for All program, we offer affordable, accessible dance training open to all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, led by professional instructors.

Come see our production of Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite, a jazz ballet collaboration with the ATX Jazz Orchestra!
