Outreach Programs

Education & Outreach

Numerous studies have shown that arts education is essential for developing fully formed, well-rounded students. Students who receive exposure to both the applied and the performing arts learn valuable skills in the areas of critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and social interaction. These skills are essential to ensure future success. International Ballet Theatre is committed to helping provide students with opportunities to experience and learn about dance art. Working with schools, IBT offers a variety of programs designed to broaden student horizons and give them creative learning opportunities they may not otherwise receive in their academic career.

International Ballet Theatre Visits Your School

International Ballet Theatre wishes to share a love of dance with the broadest possible audience. Each year, IBT offers public and private schools the opportunity to get a visit from dancers from our upcoming productions to schools and classrooms in our community. IBT is excited to share The Nutcracker and our IBT for Children productions with public, private, and home-schooled students.

 

An IBT visit to your school offers an abridged 30-45-minute presentation, where students get the wonderful opportunity to interact with dancers from our Preparatory Program, Pre and Professional Division, learn, do a movement with our dancers, ask questions and take pictures that will long last in student's hearts. 

​

School Visits are a perfect introduction to the history and stories behind each of our productions, where students find the connection between ballet and all forms of art (literature, theater, music) and discover new forms of personal expression through dance. School visits happen 2-3 weeks prior to our magical performances at the Meydenbauer Theatre in Bellevue.  

​

For each of our school performances, the International Ballet Theatre Dance Education and Outreach Program can provide a supplemental study guide that contains viewing tips and detailed material on ballet and dance. 

 

School Visits are for ANY public, private, and home-school organizations with a suitable public space where dancers and students can safely enjoy this unique event. 

 

Please contact us in advance by email or 425.822.7694 to reserve space for your group, we'd love to visit all our schools.

​

Please share our resources with teachers/educators, your PTA, and your community.

Through lectures and demonstrations, IBT's Dance for All addresses the need for arts education in our community. With specially designed narrated performances, IBT aims to:

  • Introduce dance and music from around the world to young people

  • Foster an appreciation for the performing arts

  • Develop and educate future audiences

 

Students learn the fundamentals of dance movement as well as authentic classical and folkloric dances appropriate for children. Along with the performance tickets, IBT also distributes a study guide to help teachers prepare their students for the presentation.

Contact us for more information.
