Girl Scouts

Through the Outreach Program, Metropolitan Ballet Theatre provides Girl Scouts with opportunities to experience and learn about dance.  MBT’s Girl Scouts Program helps to support the Girl Scout mission of “building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place” by providing opportunities for them to participate in the performing arts through dance.

MBT’s Girl Scout Program is suited for students of all ages including Daisy Girl Scouts, Brownie Girl Scouts, Junior Girl Scouts and STUDIO 2B.  Programs can be tailored for any group.  The program offers troops the following options to experience dance:

The Nutcracker Patch
Join Metropolitan Ballet Theatre at its performances of The Nutcracker.  Enjoy the full-length, traditional staging of this family holiday classic and stay after the performance to meet the dancers, see what goes on behind the curtain, and learn all you need to know to earn your Nutcracker Patch.  Great for all levels!

Special 2011 Girl Scout Nutcracker Dates:  Saturday December 3rd at 7:00 PM, Sunday December 4th at 5:00 PM and Friday December 9th at 7:00 PM.

Call MBT for registration and ticket information: 301-762-1757
Special group rates available (10 or more)

Dancercize Try-It or Dance badge
MBT invites Girl Scouts to our studios or MBT will come to you!   Work towards earning your Dancercize Try-It or Dance badge by actively participating in a dance class or lecture demonstration, meet MBT dancers and teachers and/or watch a small performance up close.

Adaptive Ballet
MBT offers a special dance class designed for children with special needs.  The class is tailored to meet the abilities and needs of the class members and includes typical elements of a beginning ballet class but progresses at a slower pace.  Movement, musicality and self-expression are emphasized.  The class is currently offered to Special Needs Girl Scout troops but any student is welcome to join. Girl Scouts in the adaptive ballet class have been invited to perform this year in MBT’s The Nutcracker!
