IBE brings ballet to the Philadelphia public schools
IBE invites the Philadelphia school district as well as other area public, private and parochial schools to IBE’s exciting in-school performances.
We invite you to and your students to a free, fully staged production of The Sleeping Beauty, a ballet performed to the gorgeous music of Tchaikovsky. The Sleeping Beauty provides a wonderful context for studying music, movement, and elements of literature and story-telling, such as narrative, characters, motifs, fairy tales, and oral tradition.
With guest artists and a youth cast from Wissahickon Dance Academy in Germantown, Willard Elementary School, and J.B. Kelly Elementary School, the ballet is performed exclusively for the students of the Philadelphia schools. All educators bringing students to the show will receive a free guide to the ballet with pre- and post-performance activities designed to deepen students’ experience of this living art.

This fully staged ballet interprets the passage of the seasons through the Greek myth of Persephone, whose annual journey to and from the Underworld marks the passage of spring, summer, fall, and winter. The Four Seasons provides a wonderful context for studying science (why do we have seasons?), ecology, language arts, geography, and more.
