Preschool Outreach Program

Our Dance Instructors Will Come to You!

Ballare Teatro Performing Arts Center is excited to bring our wonderful preschool programming to preschools and childcare centers in the Twin Cities!

With our outreach programs, the children under your care can learn the fundamentals of dance easily and conveniently. Our instructors will come to you and conduct classes in your facility. Call us today to learn more.

• Residency Program
• The Ballare Teatro Difference
• Register for classes at Kinderberry Hill - Woodbury
• Register for classes at Kinderberry Hill - Minneapolis

This is the same program we offer in our studio. It includes one class per week from October through May. This is an enrichment program in which parents are charged automatically ($58/month) for their children’s classes.

Parents receive an e-mail directly to their inboxes so they are in the loop about what is going on in class.

Participants perform in a show in May in which we interpret a story through movement at your center. Past performances include "We’re Going on a Bear Hunt," "Today I Feel Silly," and "Quick as a Cricket."

Parents like this option because it takes one evening activity off their plates and gives them more precious family time!

We are excited to be teaching at Kinderberry Hill in Woodbury! To register for the 2023/24 dance season Click Here

We are also excited to be teaching at Kinderberry Hill in Minneapolis! To register for the 2023/24 dance season Click Here.

With this outreach program, centers are able to expose all of their children to dance.

Our teachers come to your classroom weekly and provide a developmentally appropriate movement theme that will enhance your curriculum. Examples of our movement themes include the following:

• Life Cycle of a Butterfly
• The Seasons
• How Do Seeds Travel?
• The Solar System

Ballare Teatro offers something that most dance programs do not. Our instructors all have degrees in dance and/or professional dance experience. They all have at least five years of teaching experience. We didn’t just wake up one day and decide we wanted to teach dance to preschoolers. This is our passion.

Benefits of Adding Dance to Your Preschool Curriculum

• Dance is a way of moving that uses the body as an instrument of expression and communication.
• Through dance, students learn teamwork, focus, and improvisational skills.
• Dance is a creative outlet that enables children to express and communicate their ideas and make creative decisions. This promotes self-esteem and independent thinking.
• Dance awakens new perceptions in children that help them learn and think in new ways.
• Dance promotes a preschooler's physical development, emotional maturity, social awareness, and cognitive development — all of which will be assets when they enter kindergarten.
