DanceWorks

DanceWorks has been an integral part of the Nantucket Community School’s programming since 2001.  Throughout those years, DanceWorks has offered creative movement, pre-ballet, ballet and tap to our island’s children.  Mrs. Kelly Corbett joined the Community School team as our DanceWorks Artistic Director in 2010 and has since expanded the disciplines offered to include modern, jazz, and lyrical dance.  Our Apprentice Program is an additional opportunity for many of our dedicated dancers to serve as assistants, share their talents, and expand their repertoire.

Each season the DanceWorks program culminates with a specially choreographed recital where each dance class can showcase what they have learned throughout the year. This year, the recital will be held on Saturday, May 4 at 2pm. Tickets, $15, will go on sale beginning Monday, April 22, and will also be sold at the door on the day of the event.

We are always eager to meet new, gifted instructors who can contribute to the DanceWorks experience.  Our goal is to create a program to help our dancers build a strong, basic foundation in technique, and introduce and instill confidence, self-esteem, self-expression, and discipline as they discover and develop their commitment to the art of dance.
