As we step into Season 15, we are taking a moment to celebrate the dancers who continue to shape the heart of Kansas Ballet.

These company members bring discipline, artistry, joy, and so much care into the studio every day. We are grateful for the work behind the scenes, the growth from season to season, and the beautiful community that surrounds them.

We are so excited to see Ballet Stars On Demand expanding across USD 501 this fall!

Beginning in October, Kansas Ballet will bring this STEAM-focused ballet program to every 1st grade classroom in the district, culminating with a field trip to experience The Nutcracker live at Topeka Performing Arts Center in December. 🩰✨

We are incredibly grateful to ArtsConnect Topeka and the TopArts Grant program for helping us make ballet accessible to more children in our community.

This is exactly what our outreach mission is all about — bringing the arts directly to children and giving them an experience they will remember.

Thank you, ArtsConnect! ❤️

Ballet Stars On Demand is a STEAM-focused classical ballet program designed specifically for local elementary schools. The program has been successfully piloted at Lowman Hill Elementary, Jardine Elementary, SENT Prep Academy, and Boys & Girls Club of Topeka. The final pilot will take place at Scott Duel Language in the spring of 2026. In the fall of 2026, Kansas Ballet will partner with USD 501 to bring Ballet Stars On Demand to all 1st grade classrooms in the district. Classroom participation will start in October of 2026. The program will culminate in a grand finale with each classroom enjoying a field trip to watch the Nutcracker ballet live at Topeka Performing Arts Center in December.
