FOR THE KIDS

The ADF’s Kids Night Out and Children’s Matinee programs provide adults and families with an affordable way to introduce young people to the excitement of live performance. Exposure to dance at a young age can help foster creativity and inspire a lifelong passion for the arts, and the ADF is proud to help patrons share their love of the art form with the next generation of dance-goers.

Kids Night Out

Kids Night Out (KNO) offered youth the opportunity to experience the ADF’s full range of season performances, free with the purchase of a regular-priced adult ticket. Over 400 KNO tickets were distributed during the 2009 season.

Children’s Matinees

The ADF also offered three, one-hour Children’s Matinees, specifically designed with families and young audiences in mind. These youth-oriented matinees included performances by Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, and Pilobolus. Complimentary live music and snacks followed each Children’s Matinee.
