ABOUT US
YESHUA BALLET THEATRE (YBT) IS A PURPOSE-DRIVEN AND HOLY SPIRIT-FILLED BALLET COMPANY ON A MISSION TO INTRODUCE PEOPLE TO GOD, LEADING THEM TO SALVATION, DELIVERANCE, AND HEALING THROUGH THE WORSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST EXPRESSED IN THE ART OF DANCE THROUGH LARGE PRODUCTIONS AND PERFORMANCES.
Yeshua Ballet Theatre was formed after a series of miraculous events. God gave both founders, at separate times in their lives, a clear vision for a professional ballet company that seeks to distinguish itself in the secular world of dance by rivaling it in excellence and talent.
This company aims to embody a brand that not only uplifts spiritually but also competes on the highest artistic levels. It is a ballet company designed to bring hope and healing to the brokenhearted, by embarking on missions across the globe and creating disciples for the Kingdom of YHWH Sabal (God our burden bearer). We are especially passionate about helping in the area of Human and Child Trafficking given that one of our founders is a survivor who experienced significant healing through the art of dance.
This dream and vision were placed in their hearts by the Lord long before they met each other. They were both in awe of His mighty hand moving so many pieces in their lives individually to bring them together in Austin, Texas, USA, especially since one of the founders is originally from South Africa, where God initially placed this dream in her heart. God even provided the name, Yeshua Ballet Theatre, to both of them separately, and so it began.
Rooted in five core values
We aspire to be a beacon of inspiration, hope, freedom, beauty, and transformation.
faith and obedience to the Creator, Jesus of Nazareth

an unwavering pursuit of excellence
Yeshua Ballet Theatre seeks to distinguish itself in the secular world of dance by rivaling it in excellence and talent, embodying a brand that not only uplifts spiritually but also competes on the highest artistic levels.
Furthermore, let us introduce Yeshua Ballet Theatre Second Company (YBTll), our pre-professional training program designed to equip aspiring dancers (16+) with the skills and discipline necessary to pursue a career at YBT and other top tier ballet companies world wide.
Under the mentorship of seasoned professionals and instructors deeply committed to their spiritual and artistic development, dancers with YBTll will receive personalized attention and guidance as they journey towards excellence in dance and in their relationship with God. YBTII will have the opportunity to dance alongside the professional company, YBT.
Finally, the feeder school for YBT/YBTll, is Redeeming Dance (RD). At Redeeming Dance we offer three different programs for students ages 2-18. Redeeming Dance will have a recreational evening program for students interested in movement and looking to grow in their hobby.
Next, we will have Redeeming Dance Company (RDC) which will be our pre-pro commercial dance competition team with a focus on excellence in jazz, modern, contemporary, and hip hop. Finally, our third program will be Redeeming Dance Ballet Conservatory (RDBC). RDBC is our pre-professional ballet program which will consist of morning and evening classes.
In each of these 3 programs, our students will not only receive top-tier training in classical ballet technique but will also be guided in understanding the spiritual significance of their artistry. Through a curriculum rooted in biblical truth and the teachings of Jesus Christ, dancers will be encouraged to express their faith through movement, embodying the message of salvation, deliverance, and healing.
