Attending the ballet!

Artistic director, Herci Marsden, will guide students through a special dress rehearsal performance explaining the music, the staging mechanics, the physical training of the dancers and the facts about the ballet. Ms. Marsden also encourages children to ask questions about the performance and ballet in general. An educational opportunity that can easily adapt to today’s integrated curriculum!

The cost of the program is to be determined by the cultural enrichment funding sponsors, who donate to The State Ballet of Rhode Island. Call 334-2560 for more information.
