Blue Jay Welcome Weeks: Fall 2026

Ballet for EveryBody classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:30-5pm, starting September 1. Students may attend one or both days each week. Classes are for the full semester and free of charge. They are in-person and will be in the HSC Student Center, room 215. Dance class capacity is appx. 25 people. Classes are for students only. They are not open to faculty, staff or non-JHU affiliates.

Ballet for EveryBody approaches ballet as an immersive mind/body practice. Accept yourself as you are while striving toward greater ease, efficiency, and expansiveness of movement. Enjoy the beauty of ballet as you experience mental and physical flow and musical expressiveness within the community of a supportive mixed-level class. This is an inclusive class. Humans of different abilities and levels of experience are all welcome.

Ballet dance attire
All close-fitting, flexible clothing is acceptable as long as the line of the body is discernible. This includes clothing such as yoga pants, leggings, and close-fitting t-shirts.
If you will be dancing on a wooden floor, it is recommended that you wear ballet slippers or dance in bare feet. If you will be dancing on a carpet, try wearing textured socks instead of ballet slippers. Ballet slippers can be ordered from several online sources, including Discount Dance Supplies.

Presented by Opera Baltimore: A charming disaster of a man. A trail of people he has burned. A night when the consequences finally walk through the door. Don Giovanni is the guy who treats every room like it belongs to him. The tension builds like a group text that has been simmering for months and finally turns into a public blowup. Then the story makes a hard turn into the supernatural. Mozart’s music makes the whole thing feel fast, sharp, and dangerously fun until it is suddenly not fun at all.

Departure for this program will be around 2pm for the 3pm performance, with optional dinner after the performance. Registration to enter the lottery ends Thursday, Oct 1 at 12pm.
