Today (and every day) we celebrate the life and legacy of Ballet Lubbock founder Suzanne Aker. On what would have been her 100th birthday, we honor the woman who believed in the power of dance, and that it belonged right here in dusty West Texas. What began with her vision continues in every dancer who finds confidence, excellence, community, and a place to belong at Ballet Lubbock.
Because of her, It Starts Here.

Happy heavenly birthday, Suzanne. We love you, and we are honored to carry on your extraordinary legacy! Please join us in celebrating by sharing a memory or the way her legacy has touched your life.

We have such a cool full-circle story to share!
When Level 6 dancer Charlie Lucoski attended the Joffrey Ballet Summer Intensive in Las Vegas, he had the privilege of training with Maximilien Baud.
More than 10 years ago, Maximilien graced the Ballet Lubbock stage as the Cavalier in The Nutcracker. His connection to Ballet Lubbock goes back even further, having danced alongside Artistic Director Emeritus Yvonne Racz.
We love seeing the Ballet Lubbock story continue through generations of dancers and teachers. No matter where the journey leads, It Starts Here.

We're thrilled to welcome Tyler Gum to the Ballet Lubbock family as our new Assistant Artistic Director! Tyler brings a wealth of professional experience, a passion for dance education, and an inspiring artistic vision. Working alongside Artistic Director Lily Balogh, we're excited for all that's ahead as we continue to inspire, educate, and share the joy of dance with our community.
Please join us in giving Tyler a warm Ballet Lubbock welcome!

🎶🎶The road goes on forever...and the dancing never ends 🎶🎶
Summer intensives are about so much more than ballet. They're about stepping into a room full of dancers who love the same thing you do, finding your people, pushing yourself a little further than you thought you could, and coming home with stories you'll be telling for years. We are so happy to see these happy faces!
