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. Ballet can provide access to the performing arts and build life skills. Therefore, we are committed to:

• Actively building relationships with individuals and organizations not currently serviced by our program.
• Consistently learning and evolving.
• Supporting all students to find their voice in the studio, on stage, and in life.

The End of Year Academy Showcase is nearly here!

The 2023–24 Performance Season is coming to a close, with our final Spring Semester class on Thursday, May 30. The season culminates in the spectacular End of Year Academy Showcase production of Alice in Wonderland. Students from our youngest levels to our BCSTX Company dancers will perform. Please check our Performance Page for details and performance times for each level. Tickets may be purchased for the 11 AM and 3:30 PM performances online exclusively at buy.tututix.com/theballetconservatory.

Summer Classes

Summer Ballet begins Monday, June 24 and ends Saturday, August 3. Summer is a great time to introduce ballet to new students, and a creative and active way for your student to spend their summer break. Currently enrolled BCSTX students will be able to enroll for the summer session once they have received their level placements for the upcoming 2024–25 Performance Season.

If you have any questions, you may reach our staff at 210-820-3400 or info@balletconservatory.org.

Family Portal

Currently enrolled families may access the Family Portal to view communication from BCSTX, receive level placements, send a message to our staff, update contact and payment information, and pay fees.

Registration and schedule for the 2024–25 Season will be announced shortly.
