Family Programming by San Francisco Ballet: Family Dance-Along
Join us for an interactive family-friendly and sensory-friendly program for all ages and abilities. Featuring pianist Danny Sullivan and Teaching Artists from SF Ballet, audiences are invited to dance in your seat and twirl to the beat during this dance-along ballet extravaganza. Showcasing the music of ballet’s fantastic creatures and characters live at the piano, you’ll be invited to spread your wings as a swan, cast a magical spell as a fairy, waltz with the flowers, and more. Dance props for audience participation will be provided. Costumes are welcome. Includes interactive pop-ups and sensory-friendly haptic tactile touch tables for all ages and abilities. Free tutus for the first 150 kids!
