DANCE EXPOSURE PROGRAMS

Each year, CBT offers a dance exposure package that has as it’s centerpiece a live performance at the Leon M. Goldstein Performing Arts Center in Kingsborough Community College. The package also includes a single movement workshop at the public school site and a meet-the-artist Q&A after the performance.

 

2020 Storytelling through Dance Package  

Live Performance: The Secret Garden - March 11 & 12

A ballet inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett’s children’s story about 

a secret and mysterious garden that heals the hearts of three broken people. 

60 minutes

 

Student Movement Workshop:

Prior to the live performance, a CBT teaching artist travels to the school for

a forty-five minute student workshop or master class. Students experience

the dance techniques used in the performance, learn background about the

ballet and learn some of the ballet’s choreography too.

 

Meet-the-Artist:

Immediately following the live performance, students have a chance to meet

the professional dancers to talk about their dance careers in an informative,

fun Q & A meeting that lasts 30-45 minutes.
