Houston Ballet

Years ago Mikhail Baryshnikov proved that sex appeal combined with artistic excellence can transform ballet agnostics into true believers. Not only are the Houston Ballet dancers hot, like hunky Simon Ball and drop-dead gorgeous Barbara Bears, but they are part of one of the most prestigious companies in the U.S., which attracts the finest dancers and choreographers from all over the world and presents a diverse and electrifying repertoire of both contemporary and classic performances. Set all of this against the dramatic backdrop of the Wortham Center and you’ve got eye candy everywhere you look coupled with the thrill of watching dancers who possess the strength, stamina and agility of Olympic gymnasts, but make their astounding leaps, lifts and dizzying turns look as graceful and effortless as feathers floating through the air.
