Where Excellence is Cultivated. Artistry is Refined. Futures are Shaped.

Quenedit Dance School

Founded in 2010 in San Antonio, Quenedit Ballet School is dedicated to the highest standards of dance education. Under the leadership of Catalina Garza, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Ernesto Quenedit, Founder and Artistic Director—both former principal dancers with the internationally acclaimed The Joffrey Ballet—the school was built on a clear vision: to provide professional-level training within a refined and nurturing environment.

From its beginnings in the Stone Oak community, Quenedit Ballet School has grown into one of San Antonio’s premier destinations for comprehensive dance training. The school serves students from early childhood through adulthood, offering a well-rounded curriculum that includes classical ballet, contemporary, jazz, hip hop, acrobatics, and conditioning.

Each program is thoughtfully designed to develop strong technique while fostering artistry, discipline, and confidence. Rooted in professional methodology, training emphasizes alignment, strength, musicality, and expressive movement—guiding students not only to execute steps with precision, but to perform with intention.

At its core, Quenedit Ballet School cultivates an environment where high expectations are supported by encouragement. Faculty are carefully selected for their expertise and dedication, creating a culture that challenges and inspires every student.

As the official school of San Antonio Dance, the affiliated non-profit youth company, Quenedit Dance provides a pathway for advanced performance opportunities through productions, community engagement, and curated artistic experiences.

With an unwavering commitment to excellence, Quenedit Ballet School continues to elevate dance education in San Antonio—developing not only skilled dancers, but confident and inspired individuals.
