"IF I CAN STOP ONE HEART FROM BREAKING..."
Ballet Mobile is a charitable performing arts organization, always on the road making house calls. Its mission is best reflected through Emily Dickinson's poem:
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
Everyone in Ballet Mobile is a volunteer, hoping to "ease one life the aching" through music, movement, and inspiration. Ballet Mobile is modeled on the Bookmobile, making Beautiful Ballet-to-Go a reality.

For over ten years Ballet Mobile has taken really good ballet out of a dark theater and shared it with people who otherwise might not be able to experience it.
|
Ballet Mobile's "M&Ms" stand for Music, Movement, and guided Meditation. M&Ms are integrated into interactive, healing programs designed to improve the well-being of everyone experiencing them.
The
handmade silk flower bouquets gifted to all audience members help remind them
of the experience long after the program ends. They dance with them
during the performances.
|
Evidence-based research about the positive effects of dance and music underpins Ballet Mobile's house calls. Everyone has the chance to move, retrieve cherished memories, regain inspiration, watch wonderful artistry, and dance with their flowers and hearts.
