IN-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING

In an exciting new partnership with United Way of Westchester and Putnam, Westchester Ballet Company is currently engaged, during the current academic year, in after-school ballet classes at Winfield L. Morse Elementary School (Tarrytown, NY), Highview Elementary (Greenburgh, NY), and Brookside Elementary (Ossining, NY).

These classes go far beyond dance training—they provide a space where children can build confidence, express emotions in healthy ways, and develop important social-emotional skills such as self-awareness, empathy, and perseverance. Ballet encourages discipline and focus while fostering creativity, collaboration, and a sense of belonging. In this supportive environment, students of all backgrounds and abilities learn basic dance technique, stretching exercises, and choreography. Classes are led by a team of professional dancers and dance educators with support from teenage assistants from Westchester Ballet Company.

Westchester Ballet Company, in collaboration with our community partner Rising Above Boundaries, has delivered two iterations of a program called First Position - in Spring 2022 and Fall 2023. First Position offers no-cost ballet instruction, attire, and footwear to children ages 7 to 10.
