Amora Ballet Para Todos
Amora Ballet para Todos is a project developed by the Artepólon Association, with artistic direction by David J. Amado, aimed at democratising access to quality arts education in the Amora and Vale da Amoreira region.
Its 18-month pilot programme (January 2025 to June 2026) offers classical ballet classes to Year 5 pupils, most of whom are socially disadvantaged. By introducing classical ballet, an art form traditionally associated with elites, to the marginalised and underprivileged, the project aims to challenge stereotypes, promote equity, and empower the next generation of artists in the region. The ultimate goal is to transform this pilot project into a professional dance school for further training.
Alongside classical dance training, the programme includes other cultural and training activities in the field of dance, open to the entire community of these territories.
