About
Come experience the joy of gentle movement and the grace of sharing the culture of dance with The Conservatory in City Hall's historic Memorial Hall! We'll be showcasing excerpts of Classical Ballet and Spanish Classical dance, and inviting you to join us in exploring the beautiful hand and arm movements of these styles in this minimal-impact, sensory-sensitive event. This event is suitable for all ages and abilities, and public interaction is designed to be seated and accessible for those who would like to participate. Music and conversation will be kept at low levels out of respect for the needs of both our beautiful space and our community participants. Come connect with us!

The Conservatory
CREATIVE EXCELLENCE
The Conservatory delivers dance programming distinguished by artistic integrity, transparency and accountability; grounded in the principles of lifelong growth, exploration and development as artists and as people.
CULTURAL ENRICHMENT
The Conservatory's dance education practices reflect our deep appreciation for sustainability and responsible resource management; cultural authenticity, tradition, sensitivity and evolution; and our responsibility to listen and learn from one another as global caretakers and citizens. The Conservatory stands in solidarity with the BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and pledges our commitment to amplifying the voices of marginalized peoples, celebrating their achievements and acknowledging our historical debt to their many, varied, rich and deep, social and cultural contributions. Our commitment to cultural awareness, preservation and promotion is reflected in our standing as invited Institutional Members of UNESCO's prestigious International Dance Council, the only member dance school in our region.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The Conservatory actively partners with members of our regional community to offer inclusive arts participation, education, performance and outreach experiences as a demonstration of our respect for the inherent dignity and value of all people. We pledge to offer safe spaces for artistic creation, representation, identity and self-expression.
All are welcome in The Conservatory's dance community.
