Ballet for Every Body

Our popular community engagement program going into the schools! Thanks to all of the schools who participated in our program; Trinity Episcopal Day School, Parkview Elementary, Forest Heights Academy of Excellence, Mayfair Laboratory School, Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts, and the Moving Forward with Parkinsons program. We loved every minute of our time performing for you and hope to bring the joy of dance to you next year. Overall, we touched over 1,100 students and adults with our message of inclusivity. Dance really is for EVERY BODY. We are very pleased to continue our popular community engagement program that Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre has created to bring dance directly to the schools. “Ballet for Every Body”, with professional and student-level dancers, will communicate to students that dance is something that all body shapes and sizes can enjoy! Everyone moves differently in dance and through the classic tale of Peter and the Wolf, we will show you how different styles of movement are all beautiful! With this message of inclusivity, our goal is to make everyone feel welcome in the dance community.
