Our signature outreach and arts education program, Learning That Moves You, is a comprehensive arts education program that has served more than 22,000 youth since 2005. Thanks to foundation and state funding, Ballet San Antonio has been able to send dancers into schools to present engaging demonstrations with accompanying lectures.
The company places an emphasis on low-income/Title 1 schools, and works each season to expand the number of schools reached. The program reached 5,000 students during the 2010-2011 season.
As part of Learning That Moves You, Ballet San Antonio invites students to an abridged version of The Nutcracker, with special behind-the-scenes access. These performances have reached more than 100,000 students. Last year alone, more than 2,000 students benefited from our subsidized ticket prices.
For the 2011-2012 season, Ballet San Antonio is adding a second children’s Nutcracker performance.
