Outreach Programs

OUR COMMITMENT

KBT's outreach programming delivers well-rounded exposure to the art of ballet in a theatrical performance setting. Each of KBT's Outreach Program models is structured to promote the growth of creativity, artistry, and educational interaction. Our commitment to outreach has become increasingly important due to the significant cuts in the Kentucky arts education budget. Supplemental educational material has been developed to quantitatively measure the students' learning at Educational Outreach Programs.

PROGRAM MODELS

  • Creative Movement
    About CM1: This class is designed for children 3-5 who are toilet trained and ready for group classes. This 45- minute class meets one day. Children will begin to learn the elements of creative movement and ballet: Socialization skills such as turn-taking and following instructions will be emphasized. The dancers are encouraged to expand their movement vocabulary through games and creative exploration of dance movements. Self-esteem and confidence is developed while dancers are having fun.
