Testimonial

Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions.

Description

Ballerina Storytime is a fun and interactive workshop where students will meet professional ballerinas, learn the story of a specific classical ballet/mainstage production, watch an excerpt from the performance, and participate in a short movement class! 2-3 professional ballet dancers will come in beautiful costumes to tell the story of the ballet, do a short performance, and teach some ballet steps. This will be followed by a Q&A and opportunity to meet the dancers. This is a wonderful way to introduce children to the magic and storytelling that is ballet.

Some Classical Ballet theme options include:
The Fantastic Toyshop (NEBT's very own holiday ballet) - Nov-Dec
The Little Mermaid - May-June
& more options available year round!
