Ballet has a way of bringing families together.

Meet season ticket holder Ada Corral — whose family's love of ballet spans four generations, from watching Alicia Alonso perform in 1950s Cuba to gathering together today.

Stories like Ada's remind us that ballet isn't just a performance. It's a tradition passed down, a memory made, and a thread that connects us across generations.

This is why we do what we do. 🩷

Meet Patricia Carley — a Ballet Austin season ticket holder for three years and counting. For Patricia, Ballet Austin isn't just a night out. It's a connection to Austin, a tradition with her son, and a reminder of why live dance matters.

This is what it means to keep art within reach for every generation, in every city, across every decade.

Thank you, Patricia, for sharing your family's story with us. ✨

Taking time to spend together is what the ballet is all about. ✨

Meet Juliet — a season ticket holder for over 35 years whose daughters and grandchildren have made Ballet Austin performances a cherished part of their lives together. This year, Juliet and her daughters attended every single production, while her four grandchildren experienced the magic of The Nutcracker and the world premiere of MARIE ANTOINETTE: Vampire Queen of Versailles.

This is what it looks like when art brings a family together. We are so honored to be part of it.

Happy Birthday to Anika Crouser! 🎉✨

Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Anika trained at Dublin Dance Center and Columbus City Ballet before attending summer intensives at Pacific Northwest Ballet, Houston Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, and BalletMet. She went on to earn a BFA in Dance Performance and a BA in Creative Advertising from Southern Methodist University in 2023 — a combination as versatile as her artistry on stage.

At Ballet Austin, Anika has shined onstage in George Balanchine's Concerto Barocco, Jessica Lang's ZigZag, and as Waltz Soloist and the Snow Queen in Stephen Mills' The Nutcracker, and recently debuted as Pamina in The Magic Flute.

Wishing Anika a birthday as bright and beautiful as her time on our stage. Happy Birthday! 💫 Help us celebrate Anika by dropping your birthday wishes in the comments! ⬇️
