Since its founding in 1955, Houston Ballet Academy has provided the highest quality ballet training for over 1,000 students a year. The Preschool Program offers an engaging selection of movement and dance classes for children ages 2-6, designed to introduce students to the art form of ballet in a creative and inspirational environment. No auditions are required. The Pre-Professional and Professional Programs are designed for students who want a more rigorous ballet training or those interested in a professional ballet career, and do require auditions.

Houston Ballet Academy also offers week-long summer workshops for preschool students, theme-based around Houston Ballet productions.
