Outreach & Community Engagement
Nashville Ballet’s Outreach & Community Engagement programs bring exciting performances and storytimes to schools, libraries and community centers across Middle Tennessee. Each of our offerings provides a well-rounded introduction to live performance for audiences of all ages, developing a respect and hopefully igniting a passion for the arts.


Holiday Magic
One of our most popular programs, Holiday Magic, offers free tickets to Nashville’s Nutcracker for underserved populations through a variety of charitable organizations. This special tradition continues to make holidays brighter for children and their families who may not otherwise be able to experience the magic of the arts.
