International Ballet Academy offers world-class ballet training rooted in the Vaganova method, renowned

for developing strong, expressive, and technically proficient dancers. Our accomplished faculty brings decades of professional experience, nurturing each student’s potential in a disciplined yet supportive environment.

The 2025–2026 International Ballet season promises to be an exciting and diverse celebration of classical and contemporary dance. The season opens in October with L’Automne, a dynamic mixed repertoire program presented by the International Ballet pre-professional company at the IB Theatre. In December, audiences can once again enjoy Greenville’s favorite holiday tradition, The Nutcracker, performed in collaboration with the Greenville Symphony Orchestra December 5–7 at the Peace Concert Hall. The season will conclude in May 2026 with a full-length story ballet, offering a fun and captivating finale to a year of exceptional performances.

Testimonials

Logan Acker

Ballet San Antonio & IB Alumna

"Training at International Ballet provided me with a
strong work ethic and an understanding of the importance of balancing technical precision with
creative expression. IB not only taught me how to dance, but also how to approach everything
in my life with an unwavering commitment to growth."

IB Angel Supporter

“Performing arts education is a vehicle used to teach life lessons. These lessons can change young lives. Youths learn to listen, to work with and respect others, to respect and honor themselves, to be proud of who they are and what they can accomplish, and most importantly to help them know that they matter and are loved. Why wouldn’t anyone be proud to play a small role in their journey?  To see the smiles on their faces and receive their hugs is so meaningful. We love the children and are proud to be a part.”
