Dance Me A Story
“Dance Me a Story” is a multi-disciplinary program designed to introduce young children to dance and literature. Over four weeks, participants will be guided through the journey of The Nutcracker, led by our year round Instructors and Teaching Assistants from the Joffrey Ballet School Trainee Program. Through the use of creative dance movement, children will explore the actions and emotions of the characters in The Nutcracker, bringing the story to life through physical expression.
This FREE, four-week program will take place on Sundays from 1:00-2:15 pm at the Joffrey Ballet School, with classes scheduled for October 27, November 3, November 10, and November 17.
The program aims to nurture and inspire young dancers by combining elements of creative movement, ballet, and storytelling in an inclusive and engaging environment. At the end of the program, participants will receive two complimentary tickets to the Joffrey Ballet School’s production of The Nutcracker at LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, taking place December 14-15, 2024
