Houston Ballet Academy

Since its founding in 1955, Houston Ballet Academy has provided the highest quality ballet training for those enrolled. Three hundred students, between the ages of 4 and 60, are currently enrolled in the academy's classes, and more than half of the professional company's dancers have come from the ranks of the academy. The academy's outstanding faculty includes teachers who have performed with Houston Ballet and other prestigious companies throughout the world. In July 2003, Houston Ballet Academy was re-named Houston Ballet's Ben Stevenson Academy in recognition of the key role Ben Stevenson, former artistic director of the professional company and director of the academy, played for 27 years in shaping and developing the school.
