Welcome to
OBT Education and Community Engagement

Education and Community Engagement’s Mission is to:

 

  • SHARE meaningful, high-quality dance experiences with students, families, and communities
  • INSPIRE children and adults to use their bodies in new and different ways through dance
  • CONNECT with the community by removing physical and cultural barriers and providing greater access to dance
OBT is committed to making the art form of dance accessible. Dance provides a means to connect to ourselves, each other, and the world around us. We love our community and are invested in creating sustained, meaningful relationships by sharing dance.
