Educational Outreach Program

Idaho Dance Theatre has developed a number of programs specifically designed for all ages.

K-6 Program

A special 45 minute interactive program focused on dance is created a new each year. The program is written specifically to be performed in gyms and multi purpose rooms for the young student grades 1 through 6.

The program features classroom materials developed to assist the teacher in pre-performance and post performance discussions of dance. The class materials are available both in English and Spanish. Performed by six company dancers this program is in its ninth year. It has been received by teachers and students with joy as the best of programs available in the state of Idaho.
