In-School Ballet and Creative Movement Residencies

Students learn while in motion! Classroom teachers and OBT teaching artists collaborate to make dance residencies relevant to the classroom and fun! Teaching artists are proficient in using Education Standards in literacy, math, science and infuse Oregon state dance standards throughout.

Some of our favorite curriculum includes:

  • Storytelling
  • Adjectives and Adverbs
  • Animals
  • Life Cycles
  • Habitats
  • Sound and Light Waves
  • Patterns
  • Counting and Skip Counting
  • Whole, Half, Quarter

    • In addition, OBT is dedicated to sharing the experience of dancers from all races and backgrounds who have had significant influence on ballet. We recognize ballet’s historically racial prejudice and female stereotypes. Teaching artists are at work undoing those stereotypes and helping all students see themselves as dancers.
