BTM Educational and
Community Programs

Ballet Theatre of Maryland aims to connect our community to the art of dance by expanding access to live performances and dance education. We believe that dance has the power to unite, empower, and strengthen a community, and we strive to extend these opportunities to all, regardless of background, age, or physical ability.

Dance provides countless benefits for people of all ages:

  • Improved physical coordination, strength, and endurance

  • Better mental and emotional well-being

  • Greater understanding of history and culture

  • Stronger communities and closer social circles

We are always eager to connect with new partners in our community! If you would like to bring the benefits of dance to your organization, please contact our Community Engagement Coordinator, Brenna Mazzara.

Mini Performances

Student & senior matinee

Visit us at our Mainstage Theater!

Ballet Theatre of Maryland offers Student & Senior Matinee Mini performances on weekday mornings at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts. These condensed performances offer audiences a glimpse into the art, storytelling, and athleticism of ballet with the benefit of full-length production values.

These bite-sized performances begin with a brief introduction to enrich viewers’ understanding and are followed by a Q&A with dancers from the professional company.

Each performance runs approximately one hour.
