K–12 School Assemblies
North Pointe Ballet’s K-12 Assemblies consist of performance excerpts of full-length ballets by fully-costumed professional dancers, as well as movement activities to engage students in active learning led by NPB dancers and directors.
In North Pointe Ballet’s effort to make classical ballet accessible to everyone, NPB’s school assemblies engage students in a theatrical production differently than a traditional theater experience and offer them a chance to experience ballet up-close and learn what it means to be a professional dancer. Past tours have included excerpts from The Nutcracker, Cinderella, Peter Pan, and The Sleeping Beauty. Each tour offers a unique focus, including pantomime, storytelling, character development, and healthy lifestyles.
Each program is 45-55 minutes in length and can be customized to accommodate schedule and audience needs. Cost for the program range from $250-$500. Discounts available for schools and facilities that qualify.
“The Wizard of Oz – The Ballet” Field Trip — North Pointe Ballet makes classical ballet accessible to everyone by providing this field trip opportunity annually at a low cost to students. “The Wizard of Oz – The Ballet” is a new ballet interpretation of the story of Dorothy and her friends as they dance their way down the yellow brick road to find there’s no place like home. This show is brought to life through professional ballet dancers, live-narration, and special theatrical effects. Teachers are provided with downloadable resources related to content-standards. Students will have the opportunity for a Q and A session with the cast and crew to learn about the “magic” created during the performance and what it is like to put on a full-scale professional ballet production.
