For Educators
Our Community Engagement Department is here for you! With free or affordable programming for students of all ages, all customizable to your organization, ballet is made accessible for educators around the Greater Milwaukee area.
Workshops & Storytimes
Students get a unique look at the stories, artistry, athleticism, and fun of ballet through our specialized storytimes and workshops. The programs are available for all ages, can be tailored to groups' needs and interests, and can be done in schools, libraries, or at our studios. Options include:
- Ballet Storytimes
- Dance Athleticism Workshop
- Building Tours
- Careers in Dance Seminar
Residencies
Milwaukee Ballet is happy to bring dance to you! In residencies ranging from four weeks to a full semester, students will get to try out dance and learn about the stories, history, and language unique to ballet. Professional faculty and staff run all units and can adapt programming to the organization they serve.
Interested parties can contact community@milwaukeeballet.org to determine what would be the best fit for your student group.
Performance Opportunities
Student matinees are a special opportunity for children of elementary, middle, and high school ages to see a professional ballet for free or at low cost. Groups from public, private, and homeschool groups are invited to attend The Nutcracker and our springtime family-friendly show each season, with tickets typically available to request starting mid-summer.
