Ballet Without Borders

Ballet Without Borders Ballet Without Border's mission is to enable all children to participate in ballet through workshops and sustainable pathways to ballet education. Few kids do.

Ballet Without Borders is an Australian organisation that helps support children from underprivileged and low socioeconomic backgrounds to experience the joy of ballet. The idea behind this initiative started when as an adult dancer I realised how expensive ballet was. The pointe shoes ($100 a pair), the classes, the private coaching, warm up pants and foam rollers. As a child migrating from Ukrai

ne, we did not have that kind of money, and little support from my mother who as a sole parent could neither afford nor have the time required to see whether ballet was something for me. In my homeland, socio-economic status didn’t exclude dancers (it’s no wonder Russia produces so many of the most talented dancers – because they invest in it). So for many this was a way out of poverty and low self-esteem. After some research into ballet education and extra curricular activities of children, it became clear that this sport was reserved for the upper-middle classes in Australia. Lets make a change.

Thank you to Principal Artist of The Australian Ballet for sharing her ballet story (copied below) and supporting the work of Ballet Without Borders!
“Why should ballet be accessible to all children?
Let me tell you my story...
I grew up in Tamworth NSW, the country music capital known mostly for its annual country music festival. While I did try my hand (or feet) at line dancing, it was ballet that really spoke to me. All I wanted to do was dance, I was never sitting still.
I’d often make mix tapes from the radio and dance the afternoon away on the back verandah with my sister. Dancing was a huge part of my childhood, I have so many beautiful memories. I feel so fortunate that my family were able to send me to ballet classes, making many sacrifices for me to dance overseas and always encouraging me to work hard and follow my dreams. Ballet has brought me so much joy, taught me so much and I wish that ballet be accessible to any child that wishes to dance. Ballet Without Borders is such a wonderful charity helping to make this possible! If you’d like to share your own story and share the work of the charity , visit for more details on how to get involved.”
