Outreach
Giving the gift of dance to our children in our community
SPCB as been making ballet accessible to all since 1997 when they offered tickets to school children and scheduled shows just for them within the school day. In 2004 that program expanded to transport city children from the public schools to holiday performances within their school day. The performances were abridged to fit the school schedule without compromising the quality of the experience. Local business from the North End of St. Paul partnered with SPCB to provide buses and subsidized ticket prices. One thousand students attended and the response was so great SPCB could have filled the theater twice over. The children arrived with all of their energy and sat enthralled for an hour from the time the curtain rose until it closed.
