Field Trip to Texas Ballet Theater's Swan Lake

An amazing field trip.  

If you get a chance to see a professional ballet performance, it's incredible.  

My college kids have been to Texas Ballet Theater about fifteen times (can't remember the exact number).  They have even seen the Bolshoi Ballet.  The 5th grader has been twice to Texas Ballet Theater.  He described his first trip to see a professional ballet at Texas Ballet Theater as "the best day of his life."

All three of my younger kids have spent years taking ballet classes and all three have performed in the same ballet company, which focuses on bringing ballet to people who otherwise are unable to see ballet - like a nursing home/memory care facility or community festivals.  I count this as volunteer work for them as well.

Two of our girls have taken ballet and other dance classes at the college level also.

I highly recommend a professional ballet performance, opera or even a symphony performance as an excellent homeschool field trip.
