San Francisco Ballet offers Family Dance-Alongs and Sensory Friendly Dance-Alongs throughout the season. Share the wonder of ballet with your family and experience the joy of dancing together. Led by SF Ballet’s Professional Teaching Artists and SF Ballet School Faculty Members, our interactive 60-minute Dance-Along workshops explore the story, choreography, music, and characters of some of Ballet’s most beloved productions, through hands-on activities that unlock the magic of a ballet performance.
Grab your castanets and step into 16th century Spain, complete with knights in shining armor, daring adventures, flamenco, and fun. Our Don Quixote Dance-Alongs are perfect for the whole family and will have you laughing and dancing all day long.
Participants should wear comfortable clothes that allow for movement and are welcome to wear their favorite costume. Ballet shoes are not required. No prior dance experience is needed; all bodies and physical abilities welcome. A quiet room and family restrooms will be available and accessible at all times.
