About MIDLAND FESTIVAL BALLET

Judy Coleman, Founding Director, opened her ballet school Coleman Academy in 1993. Soon after, she organized Midland Festival Ballet as a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization and it became the official resident ballet company of Coleman Academy. The first annual performance of The Nutcracker was held at Wagner and Brown Auditorium in the Allison Fine Arts Center at Midland College in 1994. It included three sold-out performances with 50 performers representing two dance schools in the Permian Basin. In 1995, two performances were held at Lee High School Auditorium accompanied by the Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale. A third performance was presented in Big Spring. Three guest-soloists from New York City Ballet danced with 85 performers representing three dance schools. Both KMID and KOCV-TV televised the local performances.
