A Chance to Dance
Ballet performance experiences for individuals with extra-sensory and other special needs.
North Pointe Ballet offers performance opportunities for students from local dance studios to audition for children’s roles. NPB believes that the experience of performing alongside professional dancers develops confidence needed in young performers and inspires youth to become life-long arts advocates.
Bringing together young dancers of multiple backgrounds, varied levels of training, and different dance schools creates diversity in the cast, encourages teamwork, and develops unique friendships and shared experiences building bonds that extend beyond the studio and stage.
NPB’s current Covid-19 protocols are as follows:
No person exhibiting any Covid-like or flu-like symptoms will be allowed to participate in any rehearsal or event.
Face coverings are optional for all professional dancers, student dancers, instructors, volunteers, and administrative staff.
