On-School-Time Program

New Jersey Ballet’s On-School-Time Program is tailored for grades K-12. The program introduces the art of ballet to students by taking them on a journey through the various movements a dancer practices everyday as part of their training. Professional dancers from New Jersey Ballet Company perform movements to highlight the high level of flexibility, strength and coordination required to be a professional dancer. Students will gain insight on how female dancers stand on their toes in pointe shoes and how male dancers lift their partners over their head. In addition to showcasing the high level of technique required to perform ballet, the Company will present a pas de deux (dance for two) from a ballet in the Company’s repertory. Students will witness how the progression of movements presented at the beginning of the assembly lead to the grand finale where technique and artistry merge.
