Performance Opportunities
WATCH WEEKS
KCBS hosts two annual watch weeks for families, one in the fall and one in the spring (see the school calendar for dates).
END OF SCHOOL YEAR PERFORMANCE
Students will participate in the annual School Performance each May at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
The School Performance is the culmination of the academic year and provides students with the opportunity to perform in a professional theater while demonstrating the artistic and technical progress they have made throughout the year. Working toward a performance is an essential component of ballet training, fostering discipline, teamwork, artistry, and stage experience.
Participation in the School Performance is an expected part of enrollment for all students in these programs. Families will receive detailed information regarding rehearsals, costumes, tickets, and performance schedules during the spring semester.
