Local junior high and high school students participated in an outreach class at UNC Wilmington on Dec. 9th, 2005. Class was taught by Festival touring artist Joan Nicholas Walker (in pink pants).

Duane Cyrus, NCDF artist, teaches movement and mask making to local children at the Greensboro Children's Museum.

Outreach

We would like to thank Target Corporation for its continued support of our outreach program.

Outreach activities are an important part of the North Carolina Dance Festival. At each site we bring Festival artists into the community one day ahead of scheduled performances to teach in the public schools, introducing children to dance and the dance artists within the state. We also distribute free tickets to interested students at each site, offering an experience which we hope will spark their imagination and sow the seeds for the audiences of the future.

We will be producing our 4th annual school show in Greensboro at the UNCG Dance Theater on Thursday, Oct. 18th, 2007.
