Tri-Parish Ballet

Founded in 1999 by visionary artistic director Wendy Guidry, the Tri-Parish Ballet was created with a simple but powerful mission: to bring high-quality, pre-professional dance training and performance opportunities to the Livingston Parish area and surrounding communities. What began as Wendy’s dream to make classical ballet accessible has grown into a beloved regional institution that continues to inspire dancers, families, and audiences year after year. Under Wendy Guidry’s leadership, the Tri-Parish Ballet has become known for its commitment to artistic excellence, its nurturing environment, and its dedication to community service. Dancers of all ages have the unique opportunity to train and perform alongside seasoned professionals, gaining experience that elevates both their technique and their confidence. Each season, the company presents beautifully staged productions including it's annual production of The Nutcracker and a wide range of classical and contemporary works in the summer bringing timeless stories to life. Beyond performance, the Tri-Parish Ballet remains firmly rooted in Denham Springs in giving back, frequently partnering with local organizations and hosting benefit performances that support the community. Today, the Tri-Parish Ballet stands as a testament to Wendy Guidry’s passion for dance and her belief that the arts have the power to enrich lives, strengthen communities, and create lasting memories. Her vision continues to shape every class, every rehearsal, and every performance, ensuring that each dancer who steps into the studio is welcomed, encouraged, and inspired.
