Vitacca Ballet shares dynamic contemporary ballet performances that combine beauty, intellect, and athleticism under Artistic Director Kelly Ann Vitacca. In pursuit of growth and support for the local arts community, we seek to nurture appreciative, diverse audiences by contributing entertaining, approachable and thought-provoking dance works to the Houston arts scene and beyond.
ABOUT VITACCA BALLET
Vitacca Ballet (Vitacca) founded in 2020 by Kelly Ann Vitacca is a creation-based repertoire company in the Houston area. As the pandemic brought artists home to Houston, Vitacca strived to keep artists employed, and the Houston arts scene alive with project-based work. This experience laid the framework for the launch of Vitacca Ballet in 2021, which now works diligently to operate a 32-week season and employ local, national, and international artists. Vitacca has had the honor to work with regional and international choreographers including Garrett Smith, Ethan Colangelo, Micaela Taylor, Helene Simoneau, Cherice Barton, Beth Twigs, Tina Kay Bohnstedt, Sean Aaron Carmon, Andrea Dawn Shelley, Autumn Eckman, Robbie Moore and Madison Hicks.
Vitacca Ballet has been seen on stage countrywide within performance and outreach community events such as Red Rock Dance Festival, LAUNCH, Vitacca Ballet World Premiere, Palm Desert Dance Festival, Miller Outdoor Theater, Austin Dance Festival, Contemporary Dance Choreography Festival, Florida and Versatility Dance Festival, Utah.
Vitacca is a proud recipient of the DanceSource Houston Groundwork Grant and thrilled to share its artistic energy with our Houston patrons and supporters. Vitacca Ballet is also proud to be a fiscally sponsored project through Fresh Arts. This allows tax-deductible donations to be made toward Vitacca Ballet’s vision and artistic growth.
