Encourage your students to explore dance as a form of communication through the integration of writing and movement activities. Participating classes write their own original story and work with an NYCB Teaching Artist to transform their written words to movement over the course of eight movement-based workshops.

Students focus on the importance of elements such as character, setting, and plot in both writing and dance. Ballet Tales contributes to a greater understanding of how storytelling through dance can transcend the components of text, movement, and music, and culminates in a sharing of student-choreographed work. Each class will attend a live NYCB performance at Lincoln Center.

My first graders welcomed the freedom of deciding and creating their own movements in their own pace.
