Full Productions for School Groups - Grades K-12
Over 3,000 children a year witness the enchantment of CHA Ballet through student matinee performances. Scores and scores of buses will drop the children off in front of the Memorial Auditorium for an exciting and educational field trip. Once they enter the theatre and the lights go down, they are transported into an enchanted world.
Children experience a full performance and experience the magic of a quality theatre production. Throughout the years, children have been mesmerized by reduced priced student performances of The Nutcracker through the generosity of our sponsors which allows Chattanooga Ballet to present these productions at a minimal cost to the schools. These arts experiences are designed to enhance learning in the classroom. Teachers have access to educational support materials and curriculum that has been designed according to state education standards and is focused on teaching students about the creative process. Countless studies have shown that arts instruction, as well as integrating the arts into all subjects, strengthens a student’s academic ability. Every year ArtsBuild offers Hamilton County School 2nd Graders an Imagine! experience with the Chattanooga Ballet's annual production of The Nutcracker. Thanks to the support of ArtsBuild donors, we are able to provide Hamilton County 2nd graders tickets at no cost to the schools or the students.

COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT
Making Moves
Chattanooga Ballet offers Making Moves classes at Boys and Girls Club of Chattanooga, Bethlehem Center and Chambliss Center for Children. These classes act as introductions to the world of ballet and are specifically constructed to provide focus, health and artistic exploration. These classes are tools used to dismantle the long prevalent view that ballet is for the “privileged” and to show how incredible artists can, do and will come from anywhere. These classes, and the initiatives surrounding them, are at the heart of how we are best when we are serving.
