Outreach Programs

Making Community Arts Access a Priority

Mankato Ballet Company seeks to bring awareness of the art of dance to the community of Southern Minnesota and surrounding regions. We see this as valuable work that brings amazing benefits and quality of life to our friends and neighbors.

There are many ways we can bring awareness, exposure and live performance to Mankato’s growing population, for this reason MBC offers a variety of Outreach Programs, making arts accessible to many who don’t normally get to experience it.

All participants have opportunities for our dancer pen-pal program, mini performances, free tickets and much more.

1-2-3 Dance With Me is our outreach program that offers dance classes to Preschools in our community. MBC will teach your students basic dance skills while offering a fun, creative movement experience.
