Complimentary Performance Tickets for Students and Families of
Local Title One Schools

As part of SCBC's dedication to the community through the Complimentary Ticket Program for Title 1 Schools, over 400 tickets were offered to students and families in 2018, bringing live theatre to underserved children throughout the Space Coast area. Our performances reach across barriers to build the next generation of audiences for dance and theatre. We are able to provide this gift to Title 1 Schools in Brevard County thanks to private charitable donations from generous corporations, foundations and individuals. 

This amazing program uses performing arts to teach diverse young children how to think creatively through imagination, dance and live theatre. 


Senior Living Outreach Program

The Space Coast Ballet Company is proud to give back to the senior living community. On a monthly basis, current SCBC performers travel to different facilities in the Space Coast area to bring joy and entertainment to the residents.
