ABOUT homeschool PROGRAMS

Nashville Ballet is thrilled to welcome our homeschool community for the 2025–2026 season! We love bringing students, K-12th grade, into the studio to experience the artistry and creativity behind our performances. Be sure to explore our Company Season and mark your calendars for the corresponding homeschool programs.

Each program offers a kinesthetic learning experience, providing students with a behind-the-scenes look at an upcoming performance, insight into the artistic process, and an opportunity to create. All programs align with the Arts Academic Standards set by the state of Tennessee, with standards outlined in the accompanying lesson plans.

Students explore the artistry and discipline of dance through interactive workshops, guided movement classes, and educational discussions led by professional artists. These experiences not only support academic growth but also nurture creativity, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts.

Note: Parents should remain on site during the program. No fee for parents.

We look forward to dancing, creating, and learning with you this season!

Registration for all homeschool programs opens Tuesday, August 5, 2025.  

All Homeschool Days take place at Nashville Ballet (3630 Redmon St., Nashville, TN 37209) unless otherwise noted.
