What We Do…

Ventana Ballet provides performances and classes throughout the year to the Austin community.

Each unique production showcases the results of intimate collaboration between representatives of various art genres. Ventana Ballet performs in various capacities, from immersive theater to full-stage performances. Each production operates on a “project basis,” where artists are carefully hand-selected by invitation or audition. Ventana Ballet is always looking for more creatives to join the team.

Classes for children and students include not only master classes, but also intensive workshops taught by certified instructors who are well-known within their fields.
