Workshop Performance Tour

North Pointe Ballet’s community engagement program has successfully delivered high-quality, professional ballet to community sites since the company’s inception in 2016.

Each live community engagement program includes opportunities for audience participation and features excerpts of full-length ballets performed by fully-costumed professional dancers. Community engagement performances engage members of the community in a theatrical production differently than a traditional theater experience and offer audience members 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, The Sleeping Beauty, The Wizard of Oz, and Beauty & the Beast. Each tour offers a unique focus, including pantomime, storytelling, character development, and healthy lifestyles.

I understand, and am comfortable being sent an invoice on behalf of my school or organization upon scheduling of a NPB workshop performance.

My school/organization has partnered with NPB at little or no cost in the past, and I would like to know if this is possible for a future workshop.d Choice

My school does not have a budget for events like this, and it is unlikely our school/organization will be able to cover this.

To secure future funding and continue carrying out our mission of making classical ballet accessible to everyone, North Pointe Ballet needs to be able to track with whom, quantitatively, we are reaching with classical ballet. By submitting this registration, you are agreeing to complete a short evaluation survey and provide quantitative data of the individuals NPB reached within your school/organization.

I agree.

We are a senior living community and all of our residents have a need of some sort. The production NPB brings to us is something no one else does. It brings the little ballerina out in all of our residents. It is always amazing to watch the dancers perform and the residents’ eyes light up. Whether the residents can’t see or hear the whole performance, the feel of the NPB presence is priceless.

What a wonderful mission you have and gift for our residents. They were so appreciative of being engaged, and exposed to such beauty, art, creativity, and human caring and sharing.

We have worked with North Pointe Ballet for years to provide accessible and engaging performances for our community’s youngest learners. Their enthusiasm, talent, and energy captivates our early childhood audience, and their diverse cast of dancers reflects the community that we serve.

I can’t thank you enough for the partnership and all you do for our students. Everyone was amazed with the performance yesterday and the munchkins were so proud of themselves. Seeing the smiles, all the flowers, and feeling the joy makes all the hard work we do worth it. My heart was full and it was undoubtedly the highlight of my day. You are so appreciated!
