WhAT

The Daytime Dance Residency is a program offered between the hours of 7am-3pm by Colorado Ballet’s Education & Community Engagement team. This program has two duration options: 

 - Intensive: Classes every day for one week 
 - Extended: 1-2 classes every week for multiple weeks (up to 14 weeks) 

Our custom curriculum is scaffolded to build on creative concepts for brain-body connection, joy of movement, and social-emotional learning through the dance arts. We work one on one with sites and classroom teachers to build a class plan that coordinates with your learning objectives.

   - Megan's Place
