Outreach
We believe that educating the local community through a variety of free art experiences. This can be special invitations to in studio rehearsals, attending public performance opportunities and/or classes and workshops.
Boys Explore Dance Program
In an effort to get boys to be more exposed to dance and ballet, Children’s Dance Theater and it’s partner, The Children’s Dance Theater Foundation are developing a Men’s program.
Similar to our typical Dance class, this one is just for the guys. We will use games and adventurous stories to focus their high energy and teach them about moving and rhythm, while allowing them to use their creativity and explore teamwork.
Performances
CDTF is committed to providing performance opportunities for both the artist and the community. The performance help to generate funds for the organizations philanthropic purpose. The artist benefits by having a free venue to display their skills and the community benefits by attending a professional caliber show for a fraction of the cost.
