Pivot

The Dance Alliance is proud to offer schools in the Pikes Peak region the chance to bring Upper-Elementary, Middle, and High School students on a field trip to a live professional dance performance at the Ent Center for the Arts during school hours through our ticket-access program PIVOT.

What does the PIVOT program offer?

  • Subsidized bus service up to $300.
  • Reduced price tickets for students – $10/child, (title I schools-$5/ticket)
  • After the performance, dancers come out to meet the students and answer their questions.

Optional School Assembly

  • Schools have the option to hold an assembly prior to the performance to teach students proper audience etiquette and introduce them to various dance genres, including Ballroom, Contemporary, Tap, and Hip Hop. Local professionals and our scholarship winners will perform and be available to answer questions. 
  • We can customize this assembly in terms of date, duration, dance genres, and discussion topics.

Benefits of the program

  • The experience fosters an appreciation for the arts and often prompts conversations about careers.
  • One school principal called the Peak Experience of PIVOT transformative.

We are committed to shifting the focus of Pikes Peak-area youth toward creative endeavors, possibilities, and models of success through the arts.
