PROGRAMS
STEP-UP! Outreach Program
STEP-UP! is Anaheim Ballet’s community educational outreach program. Activities at no cost to the disadvantaged include: daily technique classes, career track scholarship classes, master classes, field trips, school bus-in performances, summer intensive training scholarships, performance opportunities and career counseling. Students acquire classical ballet dance skills, and values associated with that training: self-discipline, physical strength and flexibility, problem solving and persistence.
Participants in the STEP-UP! program will learn a classical ballet skill set. Values that accompany this physical training include enhanced physical well-being, improved problem solving skills, self-confidence and improved posture. Comments from past students would indicate that dance training has a positive effect on mental attitude as well. That training teaches persistence, patience and self-motivation.
Anaheim Ballet Audience Engagement
Anaheim Ballet endeavors to reach non-dance audiences. To that end, AB has created Street View Dance. Street View Dance consists of short performances in unlikely settings: Downtown Disney, the Packing District, on the sidewalks of Downtown Anaheim. Anaheim Ballet also produces bus-in performances for students of the Anaheim City School District. Most of these students have never attended live dance concerts (85% are free lunch dependents) or visited a performing arts venue.
Anaheim Ballet's audience engagement creates new dance audiences, motivates current dance students of all ages and levels, and attracts new participants to the art form. Our objective is to ensure that everyone who comes into contact with Anaheim Ballet, including professional dancers, students of all levels and ages and audience members, take away inspiration and positivity..."more than dance...".
