BALLET FOR ALL
Confidence on Stage Starts with a sense of Belonging in the Studio
The Ballet Conservatory of South Texas aspires to represent the diverse communities of San Antonio and create a collective voice through movement. We believe a welcoming and inclusive studio can make a tangible difference in the art created and strengthen the connection between dancers and supporters. A ballet education can provide access to the performing arts and build life skills. Therefore, the Ballet Conservatory of South Texas is committed to actively building relationships with individuals and organizations not currently served by our program, consistently learning and evolving, and supporting all students to find their voice in the studio, on stage, and in life.
Classes
The Ballet Conservatory is recognized in South Texas for providing the finest classical ballet training. Our proven curriculum has prepared dancers for the world’s top ballet companies. We offer classes for students beginning at age 3 all the way to adult taught by our stellar faculty.
Company
The Ballet Conservatory provides a rehearsal process and performance experiences that complete your training, taking what you learn in the studio to the stage. Our performances feature an extensive repertoire by recognized choreographers, ranging from full-length classical ballets to new works.
