Library Workshops
At the San Francisco Main Library
The stunning main branch of the San Francisco Public
Library (100 Larkin St. at Grove) is not only a joy to behold but also a hub of
activity for adults, children, and families. The rich resource of reading and research
materials, story circles, science exhibits, and special events already
available is impressive.
In addition to this rich mix, San Francisco Ballet offers
unique movement workshops based on classical ballet technique. These classes
are specifically designed for adults to experience the joy of movement along
with their children (ages 6-12). Movements are inspired by a ballet within San
Francisco Ballet's current repertory. Movement Workshops are complimented by
interactive discussions, slide and/or video presentations, and performance
demonstrations by students of the San Francisco Ballet School Trainee Program,
followed by a question-and-answer period.
