Houston Ballet II

Houston Ballet II (HB II) consists of students from the academy's level 8 professional division. HB II's repertoire includes both classical and contemporary works by Houston Ballet Artistic Director Stanton Welch, Houston Ballet Artistic Director Emeritus Ben Stevenson and many other choreographers. The company's mission is threefold: to provide students the opportunity to dance leading roles in varied repertoire; to allow the dancers to develop technically and artistically by actual performance experience, and to serve the greater Houston community by providing quality, professional performances.

HB II is another way for Houston Ballet to serve its constituents by reaching smaller communities that might not have the chance to see major ballet companies perform. The visibility of HB II assists the growth of the professional company by showing the excellent training Houston Ballet’s Ben Stevenson Academy provides.
