Outreach Program & Performances
Giving back to the community is part of the ABA mission and aims to benefits everyone from the community to our students.
ABA’s community outreach involves providing free performances and ballet instructions to people who may not otherwise have access to those services.
ABA performs outreach at senior facilities and schools.
“I want to thank you so very much for the wonderful dance classes with our students. The girls LOVED the classes and enjoyed developing some basic dance skills.Your instructors were fabulous; they are natural teachers and were so caring and patient with our students. I loved the way they would break concepts down for our students so that each dancer could put forth their best effort. Thank you again for a wonderful experience!”
“Part of being in the Studio Company that I really enjoy is visiting senior centers and elementary schools. We want to be a part of the community. It’s important for dance studios to be involved in their community and give back. Thats what dance is for, and sharing the Arts is important.”
