The fourteen-member ensemble of classically trained dancers presents a diverse repertoire of classical and contemporary works from local choreographers, as well as internationally acclaimed artists.
Avant Chamber Ballet’s mission is to bring exceptional live dance and chamber music together for audiences in Dallas and Fort Worth.
Our ensemble of classically trained dancers presents a diverse repertoire of classical and contemporary works from local choreographers, as well as internationally acclaimed artists.
Since our inaugural season in 2012, ACB has presented over fifty world premiere ballets. The organization is in its 12th season, and is led by artistic director Katie Puder with a subscription season at Moody Performance Hall, Dallas Arts District.
At Avant Chamber Ballet we are passionate about two things –
First – creating new and relevant works of performing art here locally in Dallas.
Second – to perform those works of art for our community – both at the wonderful theaters we have built in the Dallas Arts District but also to bring that art to Dallas communities that don’t normally attend traditional performances.
We are committed to presenting our free classes, workshops and performances all over Dallas and meeting people in their neighborhoods to make art easily accessible for everyone.
We truly believe that our art should reflect the city of Dallas and that what we create belongs to everyone, not just traditional patrons of the arts.
