A young attendee sparkles at “Cakewalk Ballet.” Free children’s admission to the professional Ballet Fantastique performance was made possible through the EXPERIENCE DANCE! Project and grant support from Lane Arts Council

 

 

“Ballet Fantatique brings a glowing atmosphere of discovery to even an elementary school cafeteria. From the dancer’s smallest gestures to the chance to learn the basic foot positions of ballet, hundreds of rowdy kids were mesmerized — and on the edge of their seats! The oppurtunity to experience interactive, high-caliber art such as is brought by Ballet Fantastique’s EXPERINCE DANCE! PROJECT is both increasingly rare and absolutely invaluable to these children’s educations.”
—Margie, parent of Mt. Vernon Elementary student Alex, age 7

Ballet Fantastique is available for workshops, demonstrations, performances, and presentations in Eugene and throughout Oregon.

Here's what the Eugene Weekly recently said about our Education and Outreach programs:

“[In 2006,] Dancers from the academy and the chamber performance ensemble presented a series of interactive school assemblies to nearly 1,000 children at six Eugene-Springfield elementary and middle schools. The free, in-house performances were accompanied by engaging and child-friendly lectures and interactive workshops where they held real pointe shoes and tutus, had jumping competitions and experimented with the imitation and creation of new movement. Ballet Fantastique also gave out 500 complimentary tickets to interested students to see a full performance.
“This mother-daughter duo hopes that, with opportunities for supplemental dance education, children will be inspired to develop their own artistic sensibilities, both as performers and as lifetime viewers of the arts.”
-Ariel Olsen, Eugene Weekly
