YOUTH ACCESS PROGRAM
Part of our Champions for Community Initiative
Experience the magic of dance! At Saint Louis Dance Theatre, we're thrilled to offer complimentary tickets to youth programs in St. Louis City through our Youth Access Program.

Get ready to explore the universal language of movement during our Love Languages season, presented by Paul & Kathleen Matecki!
VOICES FROM THE YOUTH ACCESS PROGRAM
“Thank you for your continued dedication to uplifting youth and nurturing their creative potential.”
- Barbara Davis, Program Manager, College Kids
“The (RE)Build performance was amazing. We used this opportunity as a kick off to our Girl Talk 10-week enrichment program. We didn’t know what to expect but left the performance with a new perspective for the arts. The girls were engaged throughout our time there and all had their own interpretation of what each dance represented. We continued our conversation as we had dinner afterwards.”
- Rhonda Robinson, Founder & CEO, Collective Souls, Inc.
