We believe in the power of movement to educate, empower, and inspire. Through our outreach and education programs developed in tandem with Selah Dance Collective, we offer performances, workshops, and short-term residencies that provide accessible, inclusive dance experiences for students across Santa Barbara, Goleta, and beyond.

Through our sister company, Selah Dance Collective, we extend this mission with professional dancers and teaching artists who specialize in engaging K–12 audiences through contemporary ballet and creative movement. Whether through in-school assemblies or hands-on classes, our programs meet students where they are and invite them into the creative process.

What We Offer

  • School Assembly Performances

    Dynamic, age-appropriate shows designed for audiences in grades K–12. These 30–45 minute interactive performances include themes such as storytelling through movement, dance & music, self-expression, and women in dance. All performances include narration and Q&A and are perfect for school-wide events or arts celebration weeks.

    Sliding scale pricing available for public and Title I schools

  • In-School Dance Workshops

    Contemporary ballet meets creativity and self-expression through workshops designed for grades 3–12. These 45–60 minute sessions are led by professional teaching artists who have gone through our certified dance education training program.

    Possible workshop topics include: Introduction to Contemporary Dance and Ballet, Choreography & Composition, Dance for Athletes, and Empowerment Through Movement (for girls and gender-expansive youth).

  • Short-Term Residencies

    Through our innovative approach to residencies, students are provided with opportunities for deeper engagement through creative learning. These 1–4 week customized programs can be co-developed with classroom teachers and have the option of culminating in a performance.
