Behind the curtain and from the wings ✨

We are incredibly proud of these young artists, and the many more not captured in these photos, who made our Academy Spring Showcase a resounding success.

Your hard work and dedication inspire us all, reminding us that the most beautiful moments often happen before the music even starts. Bravo to the entire HBA family!

This month’s alumni spotlight features a true homegrown talent. Emma Forrester’s journey from the Houston Ballet Academy to the professional stage is a testament to dedication. After joining the Pre-Professional Program in 2011, Emma rose through the ranks to become a Company Apprentice in 2021 before being promoted to the Corps de Ballet in 2022.

Beyond her accomplishments in the studio, Emma also earned her Bachelor of Arts this year from the University of Houston-Downtown. Emma, your hard work and artistry perfectly embody what it means to . We can’t wait to see you continue to shine!

What a whirlwind month! Our Houston Ballet Academy artists completely wowed us during My First Ballet: Coppélia. With four sold-out shows, it was a true privilege to share the magic of ballet with so many families and first-time theatergoers.

We are incredibly proud of the dedication these performers show, but the standing ovations aren’t over yet!

The momentum continues this weekend as our dancers return to the spotlight for the Academy Spring Showcase. From the whimsy of Coppélia to the technical brilliance of the showcase, these students are ready to dazzle you once again.
