The Greater Niagara Ballet Company has recently launched a Community Outreach program that will bring the art of ballet to local children’s programming. As we are a not-for-profit organization looking to expand arts access to children in WNY, this is a free program to any organization with child-centered events.
We can tailor the event to fit the needs of the organization and of the age range of attendees. Our standard event can be between a half hour and an hour and can include some or all of the following:
1. A short demonstration of an upcoming production or pieces from our repertoire
2. A short creative movement/ballet session with the children run by one of our qualified instructors
3. Costume/prop demonstration
4. Ballet Story reading for younger children (for example, The Nutcracker)
5. Q & A
Our outreach program for November and the beginning of December will focus on The Nutcracker. If your organization is interested in bringing us in for an event, please contact us at gnbcballet@gmail.com.
