Ballet Tucson in the Community

KidzTix

Ballet Tucson is committed to inspiring and connecting our community through dance. KidzTix offers complimentary tickets to underserved children throughout Southern Arizona with an emphasis on TUSD Title 1 Schools. These young people would not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy live ballet and to experience the surprise, wonder and athleticism of a Ballet Tucson performance at the Leo Rich Theater or Linda Ronstadt Music Hall.

Thank you for helping to make KidzTix possible!

Best Foot Forward

Our educational program Best Foot Forward brings Ballet Tucson and its professional dancers into TUSD Title 1 Schools, introducing students to the world of ballet and allowing them to make important connections between art and their everyday lives. Ballet lessons are curated with an emphasis on connecting to academic standards and social-emotional learning standards that allow students to grow as people and become their own unique artists.

Ballet Banter

These pre-performance events allow our patrons to further explore their love of dance through Q&A’s with special guest artists, repetiteurs, choreographers and company dancers moderated by Artistic Director Margaret Mullin. All Ballet Banter events are free to attend for those holding tickets to the performance.
