Colorado Ballet’s afterschool program provides dance classes that focus on creative movement and ballet. These classes take place in the school and last 10 - 12 weeks each semester. The curriculum is designed for students to study a variety of dance concepts (see below) while also improving important life skills such as problem solving, spatial awareness, social and emotional learning, and strengthening the body and brain all through the art of dance.

WHERE?

At your school! Classes can be in the gym, auditorium, library – any space that allows us to get moving and get creative.

Afterschool. Students are dismissed from the school day and will meet to start class all together. We ask that afterschool sessions run 8 – 12 weeks and are 45 minutes – 1 hour in length.

WHY?

By providing an afterschool dance program at your school, it gives students a creative and active outlet that supports both their physical and emotional well-being as they end their school day. Arts education is an engaging way to keep students connected to their school community and inspired long after the bell rings.
