Plano-based Chamberlain Ballet was established in May 1984 by Artistic Director Kathy Chamberlain. Chamberlain Ballet was formed as a student ensemble dedicated to providing students with a stepping-stone to professional dance careers. During their 10th season, Chamberlain Ballet became a semi-professional company with their debut of the Chamberworks Series in collaboration with the Plano Chamber Orchestra. Chamberlain Ballet is dedicated to serving North Texas and the surrounding community by providing professional quality performances and outstanding outreach programs. Chamberlain Ballet takes great pride in its ongoing efforts to expand its cultural diversity through performance collaborations. Performances are held in many venues throughout North Texas, including Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts, Courtyard Theater, and Frisco Discovery Center.
Our outreach education involves our Relevé after-school and Shining Stars dance programs. Both of these programs focus strictly on providing dance education to the underserved and special needs members of our community, free of charge. Started in 1996, our Relevé after-school program has reached over 2,500 students ages 6 to 12. Our Shining Stars dance program is designed specifically for special needs children between the ages of 6 and 21. Since its inception in 2005, our Shining Stars program has reached over 340 students.
