Dance for All
About
Dance for All is our educational program launched with founding resident company, Capital Contemporary Ballet. Together, we offer affordable, accessible dance training open to all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, led by professional instructors.
Whether you're a seasoned professional, returning to a childhood passion, or stepping into the studio for the first time, Dance for All invites students ages 3 and up, including teens and adults, into a healthy, safe, and body-positive environment to receive high quality training at an affordable price.
Capital Contemporary Ballet and ATX Artists for Social Impact are partnering with Central Texas Youth Ballet to provide free dance classes to the children of Foster Village, with uniforms being generously donated by Wear Moi Dancewear.

Background
Ballet has a rich history spanning over 500 years, but its roots in elite aristocratic institutions have often made it inaccessible to most communities. Today, many aspiring ballet dancers still face barriers to participating in ballet—whether due to the high cost of training, limited representation, or a lack of inclusive spaces. These challenges disproportionately affect those from lower-income backgrounds, as well as queer and BIPOC artists, whose voices and perspectives are essential to the future of the art form.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Taught by professional ballet dancers and instructors with strong roots in ballet pedagogy, Dance for All honors the tradition and rigor of classical technique while integrating anatomy-informed, injury-preventative practices that ensure strong and sustainable movement habits for dancers of all levels.
