What Is Ballet Concerto?

Updated

Ballet Concerto is a professional, non-profit performing arts organization based in Fort Worth, Texas, founded in 1969. It exists to make ballet and other forms of dance available to all ages and backgrounds. If you are looking for a Fort Worth ballet company to attend, support, or partner with for school outreach, this is the organization to know.

What Ballet Concerto Does

The organization presents two annual concerts and runs two year-round outreach programs in Fort Worth ISD schools.

Annual Concerts

Concert What to Know

For the Summer Dance Concert, Ballet Concerto engages choreographers of national and international renown and professional dancers from ballet companies throughout the United States.

Outreach Programs in FWISD Schools
