The programs they offer
“Not only is it an amazing place for children to learn and grow in ballet, but the people here have truly gone above and beyond for us.”
“She started as a 4 year old in Pre-ballet 1 with Allison D'autueil and has had both Lindsey Daniel and Allison as her teachers since then.”
“I was really nervous because my daughter has Down syndrome and she needs someone who is patient and kind.”
How they train
“If you are looking for well educated faculty with teaching credentials who teach the ABT curriculum in a positive and respect filled environment this is your studio!”
What families & students say
“The teachers are wonderful and lay a good foundation for technique as dancers progress.”
“BAT focuses on technique and it is a ballet school true to the spirt of classical, traditional and elegant ballet unlike other dance schools that lack elegance and sophistication.”
“All of her teachers ( and she has had all of them) have been kind, supportive, and focused on providing a high quality dance education to all students from the very beginning.”
“one that provides the dancers an opportunity to perform but never showcases them with inappropriate dances or costumes.”
“In addition, I have always found the director, as well as the rest of the staff, to be very responsive to any questions or concerns that I have.”
“5 years we have been with BAT my daughters have received excellent and disciplined training while still having fun.”
From the reviews
We drive an hour each way to attend Ballet Academy of Texas, and now having been there over a year, would drive two if we needed to. Part of me wants to keep it as a "best kept secret" and not tell anyone how great it is. BAT is a great place for your dancer to get the highest quality training.
We love the Ballet Academy of Texas! My girls have been taking ballet classes here for almost 7 years and I've also taken the adult classes and enjoyed them. The teachers are wonderful and lay a good foundation for technique as dancers progress. I always recommend BAT to friends looking for a dance studio!
My daughter, who is 14, has been a student at the Ballet Academy of Texas since she was 3. I cannot imagine her having a better dance education. All of her teachers ( and she has had all of them) have been kind, supportive, and focused on providing a high quality dance education to all students from the very beginning.
My daughter is now 14 and is in her second year of being in toe shoes. She has had most every teacher here and has loved them all! This school is a wonderful school for learning ballet. They do teach a curriculum and take what they do very seriously.
Your first ballet class at Ballet Academy of Texas
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
