From
the Director . . .
Ballet
students must have completed one year of training at the
Ballet Academy, and be registered by September 1st,
to be eligible for participation in the Ballet Academy’s
annual performances of “The Nutcracker. Exceptions
will be made at the director’s discretion
Advanced
ballet students ages 12 and up with 2 or more years of
Pointe may audition for the Ballet Ensemble of Texas,
the Academy’s official performing company.
All students
of the Academy are eligible to participate in the
school’s annual Spring
Performances in May.
While the
directors of the Ballet Academy of Texas recognize the
necessity of providing dancers the opportunity to
perform, their students do not participate in the many
dance competitions that exist. However, there are
a few international ballet competitions, such as the
Youth America Grand Prix, that they feel are an
invaluable teaching tool for the serious ballet dancer
preparing for a career in dance.
Our goal at
the Ballet Academy of Texas is to provide the student
with the best professional instruction in a positive
dance environment without unnecessary and costly frills. |
