Community Youth Open House

Celebrate community, creativity, and the arts in the heart of Spenard! The Anchorage Classical Ballet Academy invites you to The Nave for a massive neighborhood gathering. We are thrilled to host this event in partnership with Spenard Second Saturday, pulling double duty as a vibrant community open house and ACBA's landmark 30th Season Open House! If you are looking for engaging, active, and creative outlets for your kids this fall, this is the one event you won't want to miss. For one afternoon only, Anchorage’s favorite youth organizations are gathering under one roof. It is a fantastic, free, all-ages opportunity to explore local arts, athletics, and hands-on programs, meet instructors face-to-face, and plan your family's fall schedule in a single fun afternoon. 

What to Expect: Free Ballet Classes: ACBA will host free introductory mini-classes throughout the day specifically designed for young dancers aged 3 to 8 years old. No advance registration required—just show up ready to move! Live Demonstrations: Check out exciting interactive demos from our fantastic community partners. One-Stop Info Hub: Gather details on fall youth schedules, athletic programs, and creative classes.
