Creativity. Passion. Empowerment.

Join the artists of San Francisco Ballet and the SF Ballet Center for Dance Education for one of our two Community Matinees, a unique program that offer a wonderful opportunity for teachers and students to go behind the scenes with America’s oldest professional ballet company!

This fun, informative 75-minute program includes:

• An introduction to ballet as an art form—its historical and contemporary landscape.
• The opportunity to see dancers of the SF Ballet, described by The New York Times as, “the most impressively diverse ballet company in America.”
• Demonstrations and performances by students from the SF Ballet School who are training to become professional dancers.
• Ballet excerpts from classical favorites to new works by the world’s leading choreographer’s, providing powerful entertainment for all audiences.
