EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Dance education is a skill and an art form that needs to be taught in person - passed from generation to generation. With that in mind, BSV offers education opportunities, taught by world-class faculty, in tandem with each of our performances. In addition, we offer ballet-inspired literary events for all ages and stages. Thanks to BSV donors, all programs are offered free of charge. Discover and deepen your love of dance.
