Community Engagement
Community and School Performances
Focusing equally on diversity and excellence, New Ballet develops relationships with community organizations, local schools, and corporations bringing instruction and live performances to children and adults across Memphis and the Mid-South. Last season, New Ballet reached over 20,000 Mid-Southerners through performances. School performances include curricula and lesson plans that teachers may use before and after the performance and workshop.
School Performances: Peter and the Wolf is best suited for grades K – 3. The Three Shoes and Bare Feet is designed for either Elementary or Middle school students. Hip Hop to Africa: The Roots of Urban Dance is directed towards Middle and High School audiences. There is a fee for the performances and workshops. Please contact Jill Brookoff (jill@newballet.org) for further information.
Please contact us for additional information or to schedule a performance at your school.
New Ballet Ensemble is available to perform at your next corporate event or community gathering. Teaching residencies are available for schools and community organizations.

New Ballet brings dance students and professionals into the community to perform for students in after school programs and organizations. Here, students from New Ballet School warm up before an audience at Girls Inc., demonstrating the progression of the barre before the performance begins. Young audiences are invited to participate during the program. Experiential learning is a critical component of the New Ballet program.
