Brooklyn Ballet’s signature educational outreach program, Elevate, is seeking teaching artists for the 2022-2023 school year!

Brooklyn Ballet's Elevate Program

Brooklyn Ballet's Elevate Program, a combination of performance and hands-on dance classes, is designed to address problem solving, comparison and contrast, verbal clarification of movement, and analysis in fun, yet challenging ways. Elevate teaches patience, order, self-reliance, self-control, balance within the individual, and harmony within a group. The fundamental principles of ballet become lessons in being a good student. The Elevate program is a positive example of how repeated effort can yield high skill and achievement.
