Our Vision
A ballet world free of socioeconomic barriers, body shaming, and toxic environments—one that celebrates dancers’ athleticism, technique, and artistry regardless of skin color, gender identity, or body type and creates powerful work reflecting the diverse voices of the community.
Programs & Performances
On June 27th at KMFA, come celebrate the 55th anniversary of Austin's first Pride March and the 50th anniversary of Austin’s first Pride Week (June 20–26, 1976) at our next flagship production—Embodied: A Celebration of Pride. The City of Austin will be officially recognizing Pride Arts & Heritage Week with a mayoral proclamation!
Through our Dance for All program, we offer affordable, accessible dance training open to all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, led by professional instructors.
