Ballet Theatre Of Boston, Inc.

Dance for World Community (DWC) is a project that harnesses the vastly underutilized power of dance to improve the social and environmental health of our communities locally and beyond. The Local Partnership Model utilizes a network of sustainable partnerships with city government, local businesses, cultural agencies, other performing arts organizations, and social service agencies to support and implement a robust set of outreach, education and leadership development programs. Outreach Programs are based on Dance for the CommonWealth, a set of eight programs that throughout the organization's lifetime have drawn on the resources of JMBT's company and school to make high quality dance education and performance accessible to traditionally excluded members of society. Through programs such as the Scholarship Fund, Community Ticket Access Program and others, participants are integrated into the organization's cultural and educational events. The Annual DWC Festival is an admission-free, large-scale event of dance performances and instruction, social advocacy and a community-wide dance party on the street which gathers our many partners, their combined constituencies, and volunteers who unite for a day of cultural enrichment, social interaction, advocacy and community celebration.
