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...

Our feature this month is a most special and remarkable one in that we highlight a Ukrainian mother- daughter duo who have withstood extreme challenges, and have bravely carved out and embraced new lives here in London.

(Original text written in Ukrainian, kindly translated by Polina, with a few tweaks from yours truly.) Kseniia performing in London in Alina Luts' Ukrainian Dance Ensemble "Stefania" When did you start dancing? Kseniia as a little girl and she says: My "class near the Barre- look at my feet!" When I was 4, ...

END OF YEAR REFLECTIONs from Donna    Hi everyone, Remember me? With my Christmas stocking I know it has been so very long time since a new Ballet4Life Talks Dance blog was created. Apologies if you felt abandoned- you were not! This silence was not due to a cautionary forecast of fading trends nor wondering if people read anymore, but simply due to life's fullness and waves of electric synergy and movements.   "Company Warm-up" at Watermans Art Centre with Beatrice Ghezzi- May 2023 Ballet4life is nearing its 20th Anniversary, this milestone, which I am deeply proud of, also comes with a certain amount of reflection, reviewing, with long- and short-term projection & planning and wonderment and curiosity. When I think back on the now thousands of people I have had the privilege to meet, work with, teach, mentor, facilitate good quality dance training for, befriend, support, help on their career paths, help through grief/illness/loss, it is a bit mind blowing!?! I ...
