Houston Ballet Academy’s Spring Showcase

Houston Ballet Academy’s annual Spring Showcase returns for the first time in two years to the Cullen Theater in the Wortham Theater Center on April 29-30, 2022.

The showcase features Academy students from Level 1 through Houston Ballet II performing an array of excerpts from the Academy repertory, including Stanton Welch’s Brigade, Mikhail Fokine’s Chopiniana, and concluding with Welch’s Studies. Students of Houston Ballet II will also perform Welch’s Clear - staged by Houston Ballet Principal Dancer Connor Walsh and Former First Soloist and current Academy instructor Kelly Myernick - marking the first time this ballet has been staged by Academy students.

During the Spring Showcase, Houston Ballet will officially announce the first recipient of the Lauren Anderson Young Dancer Scholarship, accompanied by a video appearance from Lauren Anderson.
