Community

Sunderland Ballet does important work in the community to ensure that everyone has access to dance, and to improve lives through movement and music. We have gained expertise in seated ballet and adapted ballet for the less mobile. Our first funded programme was called Sit Down For Ballet, and we worked in partnership with Housing 21 and local community centres to deliver it. We now regularly work with Age UK, and have developed the programme further, calling it Ballet For All, and Ballet for All Seated. We are also developing significant experience and expertise around dementia and dance and look forward to developing these programmes further. If you think your community centre, care home or sheltered accommodation would benefit from one of our programmes please get in touch.
