Meet BalletRox, a New Service-Learning Community Partner



Contributed by Co-op Matt Goreham

On Monday, October 6th Service-Learning co-ops Christine Beluk and Matt Goreham went to visit a new Service-Learning community partner, BalletRox. BalletRox is located a few miles from Northeastern in Jamaica Plain. Chrissy and Matt sat down with program Director Carol Knox to get an overview of how the relationship between BalletRox and Northeastern was going so far. Carol was excited about the numerous Northeastern volunteers who serve both in the BalletRox center as well as the schools with which they are partnered. Carol stated the Northeastern students have been a “God send” and she would love to continue this partnership for a long time to come. The Service-Learning students do various activities while serving with BalletRox, mainly assisting the ballet students during class and keeping them up to speed. The students have a lot of fun working with the ballet dancers who range from elementary to high school. 

If you would like to learn more about BalletRox, visit their website http://www.balletrox.info/ and be sure to stop by their open house November 15th at 45 Danforth Street in Jamaica Plain.
