Community Engagement

Ballet West's Community Engagement programming offers a unique and impactful approach to enriching lives through dance.

Through our Movement Mentor initiative, led by Adaptive Dance Instructors, accomplished students partner with peers possessing special abilities, fostering transformative connections. Our Forward Steps program pioneers dance as a tool for healing, bringing its therapeutic benefits to incarcerated and chemically-dependent individuals, cultivating self-expression and resilience. For those embracing the creative journey of aging, our Senior Steps program offers low-impact ballet classes that enhance flexibility, strength, balance, and confidence, celebrating the beauty of movement and personal development. Join our inclusive community where dance becomes a bridge that unites, heals, and inspires across all walks of life.
