History & Mission
Whether a student wishes to pursue a professional dance career or simply enjoy the beauty and challenge of dance, our ultimate goal is to nurture a love and respect for the art of dance. Ballet Lubbock meets this goal by providing Lubbock and surrounding communities with performances alongside a school of classical ballet.
Ballet Lubbock alumni have gone on to professional dance careers and teaching posts in the U.S. and abroad. Ballet Lubbock is the only pre-professional school of classical ballet with a performing company in West Texas/Eastern New Mexico. Students from the school are consistently accepted to the nation’s top-ranked professional summer ballet programs and intensives.
Ballet Lubbock is the only dance school in our region that provides scholarships to students who demonstrate financial need and artistic merit. Two types of scholarships are made available on an annual basis: tuition scholarships for the Ballet Lubbock School and summer workshop scholarships for intermediate to advanced students who are traveling to the nation’s top summer programs.
