Spend quality time with the kids as your family joins ours in learning about dance!
Family Dance Workshops engage children and adults of all ages and levels of dance experience with excerpts from the latest Ballet Austin production. Ballet Austin dancers lead groups by age to do movement exercises and learn short pieces of choreography that build understanding of and appreciation for techniques essential to the production. Participants learn new skills and put it all together with the help of the dancers to demonstrate what they’ve learned during the workshop. There’s fun for everyone involved, whether participating or watching.
