Houston Ballet Academy

Food is what gives our Academy students the energy to leap, spin, and power through long studio days.

At Houston Ballet Academy, we believe in caring for our students as whole people. Whether your future takes you onto the professional stage or down another path, our goal is to help you build a healthy, positive relationship with your body.

Because fueling your body matters, we partner with a licensed nutritionist to support our dancers' health, wellness, and energy needs!

Meet Principal Instructor Kelly Myernick Kubin! 🩰

Kelly’s journey with Houston Ballet began in 1996 as an Academy student. After a stellar 14-year career on stage as a First Soloist, where she originated roles in masterpieces like Stanton Welch’s La Bayadère, she transitioned her incredible expertise to the studio.

Today, she leads our Academy contemporary program, coaches Houston Ballet II, and stages renowned works globally. Off the clock, you can find her lecturing in the Houston community or spending time with her family in the Heights.

We are so lucky to have her guiding the next generation of dancers! Drop a 💙 to show Ms. Myernick some love.
