Community Outreach

Ballet Fantastique consistently provides compelling, evocative classical productions of the highest artistic caliber that merit productions with such world-class organizations as the Eugene Symphony (Tchaikovsky Festival, January 2005). Through our Education and Outreach program, and with the support of our Community Partners, we bring these high-quality productions to everyone in our community in engaging, innovative ways.

Subsidized Concert Admission

Affordable pricing for our performances is key and ensures that we continue to develop new audiences, maintaining an enthusiastic and dedicated following for our work. Additionally, we often offer a number of subsidized tickets for low-income community members.

Experience Dance! Project

This series of interactive School Matinee presentations is linked with an innovative collaboration with Traduza Dance Company at the Hult Center. This ambitious project is the highlight of our 2005-06 Performance Season, and will reach over 3,000 community members of all ages, backgrounds, and means. More information on the Experience Dance!

Professional Dancer Development Program

Giving area dancers local, professionally modeled training and performance programs and outlets for their talent is imperative to keeping the arts vibrantly alive in our community. As part of our non-profit mission, Ballet Fantastique offers Professional Master Classes three times weekly on a sliding fee scale.
