Community Outreach Programs
Through the Community Outreach Program, CBSA hopes to inspire a passion and love for the performing arts in the San Antonio community and, especially, for San Antonio’s youth.
Special Needs
The fully inclusive special needs program allows for inclusive auditions with performance opportunities for those children in San Antonio that want to participate in either or both of our annual productions.
Boy’s program
We are so proud to support male dancers in our community. We offer free pre-professional Day training for male dancers age 12 and up who are pursuing a professional career in ballet and can commit to a pre-professional schedule (minimum 20 hours). Candidates must have natural talent and ability which, with appropriate training, can reach a successful ballet career. After school, we offer a free program for males of any age pursuing ballet training.
Audition required.
