Anthem Healthy Living Through the Arts

Fund for the Arts and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Kentucky first partnered in 2014 to bring transformative arts experiences to Elementary and Middle School students throughout the school year. Anthem Healthy Living Through the Arts leverages the power of the arts to cultivate healthy habits in student’s lives.

Louisville Ballet provides dance instruction for three distinct programs that make up Healthy Living through the Arts:

• Exploring Movement Workshops:Students participate in a combination of dance and social studies curriculum to create, connect and perform cultural dances during in-school time
• Intensive Residencies: Students participate in beginning ballet classes during after school time over the course of eight weeks. Students receive the same training offered at Louisville Ballet School – the same quality of instruction, expectation of hard work and the focus and dedication to ballet as an art form.
• Out-of-school Engagement: Students engage in weekly after-school dance classes over the course of 12 weeks, or during specific school breaks. Engagement promotes how dance contributes to an overall healthy lifestyle.
