Sorry for the long silence! We have been so busy at Ballet4life! Also, Susan's internet has been down so she has not posted in a while.

J as in Julia of S&J Talk Ballet has a report of the upcoming 12th May Showcase! over to Julia......

Showtime Blossoms!

There's a hub of activity and a buzz of excitement, as ballet4life students prepare for their 2018 Showcase!  Rehearsals are well underway with all performers working hard to enhance their dance skills, in order to make this the best Showcase ever!....

There will be Ballet, Character Dance, and even a sneak peek at the upcoming Stravinsky's Apollo and the Muses Ballet and live music with The Nonesuch Orchestra performances in June in Chiswick!

Although I am a blogger for Ballet4life, I also attend and enjoy dance classes which embrace many different styles of dance. The new dance on the block this year is to be a beautiful Ukrainian Gypsy dance, taught to us by Ukrainian ballet teacher Alina.  It will be passionate, colourful and fun to watch, not to be missed!

The Showcase will be presented by Founder and dedicated teacher of Ballet4life Donna Schoenherr and will be held on the  12th May between 6pm and 8pm at Bell Studios, 6 Greenock Road, Acton W3 8DU. Tickets can be bought at the door for £10 / £5 concessions which includes a drink and nibbles.

All proceeds will be donated to the registered charity, Move into Wellbeing, which is a dance, movement, and exercise class for people living with Parkinson's and other mobility restrictions.
We at Ballet4life will look forward to welcoming you on this special evening.

   Because you asked for this! LOL! Donna Schoenherr - Founder of www.ballet4life.com® and of charity Move into Wellbeing®   Happy March 2021 all! The days are getting longer and Spring is not far off! Here we are nearly one year since the whole COVID-19 Pandemic hit our lives in London and also changed the world. This selfie below, I took the last day of our in-person classes on 19 March, 2020. I will never forget that day.    This past year, many of you have asked me to share more details about my life and my career. I am not someone who likes to blow one’s own horn , so I thought best to share a long version of my biography created for me but with my own satirical quips interspersed, and then just be open to conversations. I finally found and edited the long version of my CV/Biography. If you fancy a read (and maybe a giggle or two) please sit back with a cuppa or a glass of vino and enjoy. None of the names or facts have been changed and the craz...

Limericks, heels, dynamics, class and more! Ms Mary E is back with her next bubbly and bright blog for all ballet/ dance/theatre lovers! Hello again, thrill-seekers in tights!  I threw together a couple of limericks for you to start the week. There was an old dancer in Ealing Who had a peculiar feeling With one leg on the barre She pliéd too far And hit her head hard on the ceiling. Or: If you look up quite hard at the ceiling Of St Peter’s dance studio in Ealing There’s a tiny balloon That deflated too soon And got stuck there - it’s cute and appealing The first is clearly ridiculous (as limericks generally are) but the second is true. Have a look next time you do class at St Peter’s. Floor barre would give you the best view. Which limerick do you prefer? I need feedback from all you gorgeous dancers. In fact, I had an idea that I might open a Ballet4life themed limerick competition! Post your contributions in the comments se...
