DANCE

Boston Ballet, in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Tourism and Special Events, and Boston Public Schools, present two free, interactive performances featuring Boston Ballet company dancers, Boston Ballet II dancers, and Boston Ballet School students at The Strand Theatre in Dorchester, MA on Friday, March 12, 2010. The 10:00am performance has been reserved for Boston Public School students. The Mayor’s Office of Arts and Tourism and Special Events has generously assisted in the transportation for over 400 students to attend. The 4:30pm performance is free and open to the general public.

The performances, developed specifically for The Strand Theatre, will feature a dynamic introduction to a variety of dance forms through an interactive and diverse program. The performance will include contemporary dance, classical ballet, and new works created for The Strand Theatre. The two performances are an extension of Boston Ballet’s unparalleled community outreach initiatives which include the nationally acclaimed Citydance, Adaptive Dance and Taking Steps programs. Boston Ballet is proud to reach more than 7,000 children every year through its education and outreach programming. The event is sponsored by Boston Ballet, The Mayor’s Office of Arts and Tourism and Special Events, and Karmaloop.
