Rehearsal Watches
Unforgettable Dance Experiences
Ballet rehearsal watches offer students a unique opportunity to experience the arts beyond the classroom, enriching their educational journey through live performance. Kansas City Ballet supports this experience by opening our doors at the Bolender Center and Kauffman Center to create meaningful connections between students, our staff, and the world of ballet.
Rehearsal Watch
Kansas City Ballet Rehearsal Watches offer schools and community organizations a unique, free opportunity to go behind the scenes and observe the creative process of a professional ballet company. Guests experience the artistry and dedication of dancers as they take class and/or rehearse for upcoming performances, gaining insights into the world of ballet. These sessions include a visit to the Todd Bolender Center for Dance & Creativity, the home of Kansas City Ballet, a brief introduction to the work being rehearsed and the choreographic process, fostering a deeper appreciation for the art form. Rehearsal Watches provide an accessible and inspiring way for audiences to connect with ballet and the performers who bring it to life.
