Louisville Ballet offers dynamic movement programming for schools and community partners. As children are naturally kinesthetic learners, movement and dance is an excellent way of offering differentiated instruction to your students. The curriculum for all of our programs is based on the National Core Arts Standards in Dance and provide a high quality arts education for students and teachers. We are happy to work with schools and partners on specific needs and tailor our programming to integrate with other academic content.
