Ballet San Antonio is a classical company whose dancers are trained in the vigorously expressive style of the Ballet Russe. Their season generally includes a holiday Nutcracker production featuring local youth, a classic story ballet, and a mixed repertory concert including work by contemporary guest choreographers. Outside the theater, Ballet San Antonio also regularly gives community performances in local venues such as schools, hospitals, and the Ronald McDonald House.
