Rise is Northern Ballet’s flagship learning programme, working with children in West Yorkshire primary schools situated in areas of high deprivation.
After engaging in their own dance workshops, a highlight of the programme is a special trip to our Christmas show at Leeds Grand Theatre. For many children, this could be their only opportunity to visit a theatre.
‘The children were blown away by the venue… the ballet was perfection, seeing the Nutcracker was just magical for them. Some of them were just beaming from ear to ear. They were all so excited to see real life dancers.’Teacher, Beechwood Primary School
We rely on donations to deliver this special experience, which means so much to the children. With your help we can offer a very special Christmas treat to a child.
‘I thought ballet was a girly thing, but now I know that I can do ballet and it makes me feel good when I move.’Pupil, St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School
Can you help by gifting a Christmas ballet experience to a young person today?
*should funds raised exceed the costs of the matinee experience day, then donations will be used to support our Learning programme itself.
