WHAT:The premier pre-professional ballet company in Northwest

Houston proudly presents its 12th annual The Nutcracker performance series, this year for the first time in collaboration with the Cypress Philharmonic.

Since 1994, HRB has contributed to the cultural fabric of Harris and Montgomery Counties by providing excellent dance training to the area’s young ballet stars and dance educators of tomorrow, while also presenting two high-quality productions annually at affordable prices.

The Nutcracker and a Spring Program, introduce area children and their families to the world of classical and contemporary ballet.
