Intro to Ballet
Orlando Ballet has presented an educational story ballet to every Orange County Public School (OCPS) second grade student for more than 20 years through its Intro to Ballet Program.
S.T.E.P.S
Orlando Ballet is entering its 29th year of providing free ballet classes to children from underserved public schools and community through the Scholarship Training for the Enrichment of Primary Students (STEPS) program, modeled after a similar award-winning program developed by New York’s Dance Theatre of Harlem.
First STEPS
Arts education plays an increasingly important role in early childhood. The creative arts are activities that engage a child’s imagination and can include activities such as art, dance, drama, puppetry, and music.
R.E.A.C.H
Orlando Ballet’s (R.E.A.C.H.) program is devised for interested students in middle and high school grades 6th through 12th as a creative outlet. Modeled after Orland Ballet’s original S.T.EP.S. program, this fully funded program provides students the opportunity to acquire comprehensive knowledge of dance as an artform. Participants study classical ballet, modern, musical theater, jazz, contemporary, spoken word and more.
R.I.S.E
