Center For Dance
The Houston Ballet administrative headquarters are in Downtown Houston, in the Center for Dance. In 2011, the Company moved into the Center for Dance, which had its grand opening on April 9, 2011. The facility increased the number of dance studios from six to nine, including a "black box dance laboratory" for presentations as well as rehearsals. The Center more than doubled the space that Houston Ballet had at its previous location. Upon its completion, it was the largest dance facility of its kind in the United States and cost $46 million.
Prior to moving into the Center for Dance, the ballet's headquarters and training facilities and the Ben Stevenson Academy were located east of the River Oaks Shopping Center.
