Got ballet? There’s an app for that
Need a Ballet Austin fix? There’s an app for that now.
Ballet Austin has just released a free iPhone app allowing users to keep track of all the goings-on at busy company.
Cleanly laid out and loaded with gorgeous visuals, the app lets users find the expected info on upcoming performances, tickets and even parking maps for performances.
But it also features lots of extras like beautiful photo galleries, backstage interviews, dancer-written previews and short video interviews. It’s easy to navigate, too, and while offering plenty of original content, it keeps a less-is-more profile that doesn’t overwhelm.
The Ballet Austin app is currently available free for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad Download it here.
Ballet Austin’s next performance is “New American Talent/Dance,” running Feb. 17-19 at the Long Center. As a choreographic competition for mid-career dancemakers, it’s a unique model in the dance world.
