Providing exposure to world-class dance is essential to the development of a student’s education, and nothing can compare to hands on, in person training. On the morning of Saturday June 20, 2026, prior to the gala performance, Boston Ballet dancers will teach master classes to the local community. These master classes are open to the public and everyone is encouraged to take advantage of learning from world-class ballet dancers.
