Cincinnati Ballet presents a sensory-friendly version of select ballets throughout the season. In our continuing mission to bring dance to every member of our community, sensory-friendly performances accommodate children, families, and adults who have found visiting the theater overwhelming due to their specific needs.
Cincinnati Ballet’s CB Moves program is designed to foster a love of dance and creative expression for individuals with specific needs. With curriculum designed in consultation with Cincinnati Children’s, we offer a variety of classes for students from age four through young adults. We also offer specialized classes for persons with Parkinson’s.
Both venues we perform at offer assistive listening devices for all performances as well as ASL-interpreted for narrated ballets on select dates throughout the season.
Patrons who are blind or have low vision can use a headset to listen to a descriptive explanation of the visual elements of the performance while still hearing the music.
