Adapted Dance takes existing Houston Ballet Education and Community Engagement programs and adapts them to populations with specific needs. Aside from our two on-going programs, trained staff can also partner with Houston-area schools to create a program especially for your students. For more info, please contact Education & Community Engagement Coordinator, Alexandra Garza at agarza@houstonballet.org.
