Happy Birthday to company dancer Tristin Filsinger! 🎉✨

Raised primarily in Eureka, California, Tristin earned a full merit scholarship to Boston Ballet School's Pre Professional program at just twelve years old before continuing his studies at Butler University on a full merit scholarship, where he earned a BFA in dance.

Since joining Ballet Austin in 2023, Tristin has brought elegance and artistry to a variety of performances, including BUBBLEGUM, The Pink Confetti Dance and the Trepak Dance in The Nutcracker.

Wishing Tristin a wonderful birthday and a year as bright as his presence on the stage. 💫

The excitement starts long before the curtain goes up. ✨

Getting dressed up. Walking through the doors and feeling the energy of a full theater. The pre-show drinks. The selfies in the lobby. Finding your seats and realizing you should do this more often.

And then — the moment the lights go down and the symphony tunes their instruments. It's showtime.

There is nothing quite like a live performance. And there is no one quite like the people you share it with.

Experience it for yourself this September. A Midsummer Night’s Dream opens Ballet Austin’s 26/27 season Sept. 25-27 at The Long Center. 🎟️ Tickets on sale now → link in bio.
