    Houston Ballet Center for Dance


    Comment on Facebook

     Houston Ballet's sleek new Center for Dance held its grand opening on Saturday, April 9, 2011 with a ribbon cutting ceremony presided over by Houston Mayor Annise Parker at 601 Preston Street in the heart of downtown Houston's Theater District.

    The new, six-story, 115,000-square-foot facility, designed with sustainable features by globally-recognized architecture firm Gensler, came in around $46.6 million (an estimated $6.4 million under its original projected budget of $53 million), and opened ahead of schedule.

    The building features nine dance studios, a dance lab that seats 200 for presentations as well as rehearsals, and artistic, administrative and support facilities for Houston Ballet and its academy. Houstonians were invited to the ribbon cutting ceremony, which was free and open to the public. Visitors were able to tour the Center for Dance as well as enjoy free performances by Houston Ballet II.
