About Us
Founded in 2012, Ballet Brazos is a nonprofit organization committed to instructing, educating, and enriching the lives of young people through the art of dance. Since our humble beginnings, we have grown to become a holiday tradition across the Brazos Valley and beyond, each December filling Texas A&M University’s Rudder Auditorium for three performances of The Nutcracker. Ballet Brazos creates its magic by bringing together students from different studios to – as a united cast – elevate expectations and impress Brazos Valley audiences year after year.

Ballet Brazos believes in positive communication between, and mutual respect among, all members of the Artistic Team. Ethics and integrity are at the core of the organization, as is maintaining an anti-discrimination and harassment-free workplace.
