Guest Blog with Donna Schoenherr- Founder & Director of Ballet4life-pioneers in adult dance tuition and performance
January Joy!
Happy New Year Everyone!
With this new year, we also celebrate our 15th Anniversary! It is truly an amazing accomplishment and one that I am so very proud of. Thousands of adults dancers have studied, trained, and danced with us since our first class was held at the Rambert Dance Company's former Chiswick headquarters in January 2004!

We have initiated ballet courses, workshops, master classes, and special outings. We have held annual performances with innovative and unique choreography created for our adult dancers. We have had classical ballet repertory workshops and also met and worked with a Rota of International Teachers in Ballet, Contemporary, Feldenkreis, Character Dance, Dance History, Ballroom & Latin Dance, and Improvisation, Pilates® and much more.
I sincerely thank every devoted Ballet4lifer and I look forward to sharing many more dance experiences with you. I also look forward to continuing to welcome new dancers to all of our varied high-quality classes and courses.
Since our new term started we have joyfully been welcoming a steady stream of newscomers to all of our classes. This is very inspiring!
Just yesterday a woman started back to ballet after 30 years! She was thrilled to be back dancing and said: "It was like coming home!"
We started off with classical ballet and then as we grew and our client base grew, I started to introduce and to offer training in other dance techniques and well as in fitness and wellbeing.
On our timetable we now proudly offer the following in addition to Ballet:
Contemporary/Modern dance
Pilates
Yoga
Pointe
Character Dance
Ballroom & Latin- for adults and for children
ContempBallet- our new own blend of the best of both!
plus classes in dance and movement with our registered charity Move into Wellbeing®
Please plan your visit to one of our classes soon. We provide a good place "to come home to." If you have any queries please e-mail us at ballet4lifeuk1@gmail.com
