Behind the Curtain is affiliated with BTC’s main-stage productions such as Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty, along with the annual production of The Nutcracker.  In opening students’ eyes to the many wonders of a ballet production, Behind the Curtain aims to share the joys of live performances with young audiences and inspire a lifelong connection to the arts, whether that be as a performer, costumer, member of the crew, or audience member.

Through Behind the Curtain, BTC offers an abbreviated performance of its main stage productions for local schools, activity workbooks that explore staging a production and practice essential academic skills through fun worksheets, and even interactive school tours that bring dance and production elements into your classroom.

The mission of BTC’s Behind the Curtain is to expose students to the joys of ballet and develop an understanding of the process behind staging a dance production. It hopes to aspire artistic endeavors in its students, and develop a lifelong connection to the arts.
