Attended the Nutcracker performance tonight with my hubby and was thoroughly impressed. The wonderful dancing the top quality costumes OMG so beautiful! and the energy and enthusiasm of all the performers just made it really magical. They gave it their all as if they were actually on Broadway!
Our daughter has been with the Bay Area Houston Ballet &Theater since she was 12 doing what she enjoys most. Their Nutcracker production is a Beautiful way to bring in the holiday with the family.
Your first ballet class at Bay Area Houston Ballet & Theatre
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.
