Organization

The mission of Galveston Ballet is two-fold:
1) to offer the young people of Galveston County the opportunity to participate in a learning company where they can experience the discipline and beauty of ballet and develop their skills and talents in this domain;
2) to enrich the cultural life of the entire community by presenting performances of great classical and contemporary works each year.

Galveston Ballet's current programs include Training, Performance, Community Education, and Scholarship.

Training: Galveston Ballet currently offers classes for ages three through adult. The members of the performing company study technique ten hours per week. Galveston Ballet also offers a variety of summer programs including 'Fairy Tale Camp' for students 4-6, Summer Intensive for teenagers and adults, and has hosted a Russian Workshop with guest artists.

Performance: Galveston Ballet presents one full-length classical ballet in the spring of each year and one mixed repertory program each fall. Ballets performed have included Coppelia, Giselle, La Fille mal Garde, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, the Firebird, and Don Quixote, as well as excerpts from many other ballets.

Both performances are held at the Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston, Texas.
