In this program, select members of the company will visit the classroom to discuss and demonstrate various aspects of dance and dance production in an interactive exchange with the students. Costumes and pointe shoes will be used as visual aids. This program consists of an open performance by the Minnesota Ballet company and will include excerpts from the Minnesota Ballet s repertoire. If all technical needs are met, this mini-performance can be held in a gymnasium, senior citizen center, etc.
