The Kingwood Ballet is celebrating its 40th anniversary during the 2024-25 season, which kicked off with the annual Sugar Plum Tea in early November.

Looking back

The dance company has since expanded its repertoire to include classical ballets, contemporary ballets, story ballets, pas de deaux and humor/satirical works.
