Boys who Dance Town Hall
Watch Live on CBJ’s Facebook & YouTube Channels
CBJ presents the very first public town hall dedicated to “Boys Who Dance”. How do we support boys in their dance journey – as their family, their educators and their community? And how do we change public’s perception of boys who dance, how do we combat public’s bias & bigotry? The panel composed of healthcare expert, educators, artists and students will answer these and many other questions. We will be also taking questions from the audience. Whether you are a parent or sibling of aspiring male dancer, a school teacher or principal, an established professional dancer or a young dance student, a healthcare professional, or just an arts lover and performance attendee – join us for this important and overly due discussion. Together, we will find practical solutions to create a supportive and inspiring environment for all the boys and help them realize their dreams.

We are delighted to share with you our full-length ballet Anastasia, starting with a pre-show roundtable with the creative team. Anastasia is a full-length ballet rich with incredibly detailed costumes, versatile sets, and exquisite lighting.
“Blown away not only by the immense production value, genius use of space, innovative set design and time-period costuming, I was also highly impressed by the dancers’ acrobatic abilities, and how quietly they leapt and bounded around the stage.”
