Helping you get the most out of ballet
Our Student Matinee Study Guides AND Family Guides are designed to be a resource for classroom teachers, K-12 students, families, and other audiences to learn about and explore the world of ballet, dance, and creativity.
San Francisco Ballet education resource guides provide audiences with an opportunity to introduce, investigate, make connections, analyze, and reflect on dance and SF Ballet performances.
SF Ballet Student Matinee performances and Study Guides are designed to support creative learning through the arts in the classroom. These Guides include pre-performance worksheets, post-performance writing activities, and materials for guided discussions that enable and challenge students to think critically about the performance and the artistic process. We encourage educators to adapt the activities to specific grade levels to help students explore movement and dance, learn about ballet, and discover what happens behind the curtain. Discover how enjoying a ballet performance can also include experiences in perceiving, responding, viewing, and thinking critically about dance.
