Community Outreach

The mission of Rochester City Ballet (RCB) is to create inspiring, entertaining and educational experiences through the art of dance while providing the highest level of artistic and technical excellence.

RCB is committed to bringing the beauty of the art of dance to our community. We honor this commitment by offering numerous performances to groups throughout the area who would not, under normal circumstances, have the opportunity to enjoy a professional dance performance. This season, Rochester City Ballet has offered free performances to Mary Cariola Center, Hillside Family of Agencies, Golisano Children’s Hospital, and Rochester City School #54.

Annually, Rochester City Ballet brings thousands of Rochester City School District children to a performance. Children have enjoyed school-day performances of The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, The Ugly Duckling, Green Eggs & Ham, and Peter and the Wolf. We regularly reach out to the community with open Lecture Demonstrations for young children along with visits to nursery schools, elementary schools and local retail establishments, offering mini performances and book readings.

It is our goal to bring the art of dance to each and every person who has a desire to be entertained along with educating others who are unaware of the beauty of dance.
