Louisville Ballet offers dynamic Residency and Lecture Demonstration programming that work with schools during the school day. 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 in-school 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 teachers on specific needs and tailor our programming to integrate with other academic content.
