Discover Dance

Alberta Ballet's Discover Dance Program is a Community Outreach Program designed for students and educators to view education and ballet in a new light.

Each year, ballet performances that directly relate to the educational system's curriculum, are chosen from Alberta Ballet's Season for the Discover Dance program. Students are able to view important pieces of their education in a new way, and learn a little more about the ballet industry and the types of careers involved.
