Educational programs, here is your opportunity to watch Colorado Ballet live! We are seeking groups throughout Colorado and across the nation who are interested in streaming a free live performance by Colorado Ballet. Please stay tuned for our live stream opportunities for the 2020/2021 season!
Sites eligible for live streaming at no cost are:
- Public, charter, private and home schools (ECE - 12th grade)
- Hospitals that serve children and youth (ECE - 12th grade)
- Children's homes that serve children and youth (ECE - 12th grade)

- Non-profit organizations that serve children and youth (Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs, libraries, etc.)
Live stream details
Productions will be available for one week following the initial live streaming. This separate link will be sent out with a new password the Monday following the live stream.
Please consider sending pictures to us after you watch the production–we love to see our programs in action! Please e-mail photos and quotes to emily.herrin@coloradoballet.org.
Be sure to use our hashtag #everybodyseedance when you post images to your own social channels.
The necessary requirements for the remote live stream are:
- Something to both watch and listen to the performance on: This can be a computer lab with students at individual screens or a staff computer projected for a full classroom - whatever fits best for your space!
- High speed internet: In order to test your internet speed, please visit SpeedTest.net and run a test on your download speed. Generally 1.5 Mbps download speed is good and anything higher is better.
- Test the link: We will provide a link beforehand for testing on your end to ensure no issues on the day of the performance.
Please note, the student matinee performances (which you are watching live) are final dress rehearsals. Therefore, the artistic staff will occasionally make audible comments to the dancers, or, more rarely, even stop the performance to make changes. This enables students to have a “behind the scenes” look into the production.
Feedback
"Thank you so much for allowing our school to watch the ballet today! It was a wonderful production and your company is truly
changing lives and helping these children learn to love and appreciate the arts."

"Thanks for this awesome experience...it felt like we had front row seats! :)"
– Richard T. Castro Elementary
"24 students LOVED it and were mesmerized by the music, dancing, lights, effects, and costumes! As a matter of fact, I
had the pleasure of watching many kids dancing, twirling, and pretending to play various musical instruments during
recess. We are a dual-language (Spanish/English) school here at Harris and having this opportunity to watch a performance
that can be understood in any language was incredible."
– Teacher
A huge thank you to Duke Hartman, Rick Romano and EON247 Inc. for spearheading this incredible program!
