FREE Workplace Wellness and Team Building Presentations & Workshops
Ballet Austin's Butler Center for Dance & Fitness engages, educates, and empowers people of all skill levels, ages, and economic and cultural backgrounds to adopt healthy lifestyles; creating well beings.
Two of Ballet Austin's core values include encouraging lifelong health and well-being and enriching our community.
We desire to connect with the Austin community to inspire and encourage people to develop habits for lifelong health and well-being, and to promote positive and effective culture teams in the family, at work and beyond.
Through participation in local healthy living and fitness opportunities, Ballet Austin's annual Get Fit event, unique workouts designed for older adults and breast cancer survivors, and our free BeWell Talks, we hope to be a resource for individuals, organizations and businesses.
Are you looking for a fun team building activity, or something creative to do with your group or work colleagues? Dance is a fun and fantastic way to build camaraderie through a shared experience with your group. It's also great physical activity for your wellness program. Or just make it a Dance Party!

FREE BeWell Talk - Holiday STRESS! How to avoid it and have the best holiday ever!
Join Vicki Parsons at Ballet Austin for a FREE Talk on HOLIDAY STRESS. More importantly, how to plan for it and then have the best holiday season ever!
At times (maybe all the time), the holiday season is as stressful as it is fun.
Halloween is coming, the elections are just around the corner, and next there's the long stretch to make it through New Years’ day.
By the time December rolls around, high levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) turn 80% of the American population into fruitcakes. (And most of us do not even like fruitcake!)
On top of adding 800 things to your ''to-do'' list, and checking it twice, holidays are also a time to deal with family relationships, parties and special events, excess food, buying and giving gifts, and so on. Bummer!
But it should NOT be a bummer! And it doesn't have to be.
Come hear some practical tips to drive your stress levels down a notch so that you don''t hurl the mistletoe at an obnoxious relative or co-worker. And better yet, so that you can go through the holidays loving the season and feeling great!
Bring your lunch! Bring a friend. Bring a family member. Bring a co-worker. Bring your stress. Laugh a little, laugh a lot. You will leave feeling better!
