Ben Workman

Ben Workman began dancing at age six at a local studio in Louisville, Kentucky. At 11, he started training at the Louisville Ballet School under the direction of Robert Curran. While there, he performed with the Louisville Ballet Youth Ensemble and in many company productions. At 16, he furthered his training at Houston Ballet Academy, learning from teachers such as Claudio Muñoz and Orlando Molina. Throughout his training, Workman had the opportunity to learn and perform many works by Stanton Welch such as Paquita, Bruiser, and others. Since joining KCB II in 2024, he has performed in Septime Webre’s ALICE (in wonderland), Anna-Marie Holmes’ Don Quixote, and Devon Carney’s The Nutcracker. He also had the opportunity to perform as the Beast in Bruce Wells’ Beauty and the Beast for Kansas City Ballet’s Family Series. Workman is excited for his second season with KCB II.
