Workshops
The Buffalo City Ballet presents various workshops throughout the year to inspire and educate students of the art of classical ballet. During the workshops, students will be exposed to the basic tenants of ballet, and be encouraged to develop their dance potential. The students develop a basic foundation of classical ballet by first becoming accustomed to the ballet music. They will then be taught various steps and positions. In learning these steps and positions, they will begin to grasp a basic understanding of the physicality and mental discipline involved in the art of ballet.
