Community Programs
Our signature program, Invitation to the Dance, is an innovative approach to reaching young dancers with hands-on experience through a "day in the life of a professional dancer." The immensely popular full-day workshop allows participants to join the company in a local theater for class, rehearsals, backstage and costume lessons, all culminating in a public performance. This program nurtures children's creativity and encourages them to work cooperatively to explore their dreams.
Community Classics is another signature program. We merge with a local public school for a year-long inter-disciplinary endeavor. All students begin by exploring a literary classic in depth with their Art, Music, and English teachers throughout the year. It then expands to an after-school program with the company where students take part in all aspects of a full-length dance production, free of charge. At year's end, the page-to-stage transformation culminates with a series of public performances.
