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.”
