Citydance
Boston Ballet's Citydance is a full-scholarship program that gives students from a broad array of backgrounds a "chance to dance!" Beginning its twelfth year, Citydance visits almost every third-grade classroom in the Boston Public School System, reaching out to over 6,000 children. Three hundred children are invited to continue in weekly classes at Boston Ballet's studios. Upon completion, interested children may join the Boston Ballet School's Main or Intensive programs. Citydance  Alumni Scholarships help make it possible for those unable to pay to tuition to continue their studies in Boston Ballet School intensive classes. 

Taking Steps
This exciting after-school program for girls ages 11 to 14 provides dance and arts training that forges paths to creativity, leadership, and self-confidence. Through dance, drawing, painting, sculpture, and poetry taught by trained professionals from the local community, Taking Steps enables participants to learn first-hand the lifelong benefits of discovering the arts.

Adaptive Dance
Created in partnership with Children's Hospital, Boston, Boston Ballet's innovative Adaptive Dance provides a positive environment for children with Down Syndrome. This model program, the first of its kind in the United States, is designed to expose students to a curriculum that enhances movement and focus, and aids in the growth of self-confidence and self-esteem.
