On-Site Ballet Lessons
Typically running for 6–7 weeks with a one-hour class once a week and concluding with a showcase at the end of the session, the students participating in NPB’s On-Site Ballet Lessons can experience the wonder of performing the ballet art form. This showcase may be performed alongside an NPB company community engagement performance.
Taught by an NPB company member(s), the goals for the ballet lessons include:
- Increase confidence in performance
- Understand the values of working hard, never giving up, and doing your best
- Learn what it means to do all things with excellence
- Discover the influence of different cultures on ballet
- Learn ballet terminology and history
- Improve skills in endurance, core strength, flexibility, and balance
