Residency Components

Professional Development

In preparation for incorporating Ballet Hispanico’s programs in classrooms, educators can participate in a hands-on workshop that introduces key concepts and goals for a dance residency, workshop, or a Company performance.

Culminating performances and Informal Sharing

For residencies with 10 or more sessions, students can experience the thrill of performing what they have learned for the wider school community. All residencies may request an informal sharing of student learning.
