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.

Founding and Artistic Director

Principal Artist

Lead Roadie

Renée Meyer creates, narrates, and directs all Ballet Mobile house calls. Her goal is to take really good ballet out of a dark theater and share it - up close and personal - with people who otherwise might not be able to experience it.

Renée integrates what she calls "M&Ms" - music, movement, and meditative techniques - into interactive, healing programs designed to improve the well-being of everyone experiencing them.The handmade silk flower gifted to each participant helps remind everyone of the experience long after the program ends.

Renée is in her seventh year of teaching Ballet Mobile classes tailored for seniors at Weinberg Village in Owings Mills, MD. The program has proved over time that ballet improves memory, mood, balance, listening, coordination, agility, and patience.

Robert Stokes is Ballet Mobile's Lead Roadie, making it possible for Ballet Mobile to bring its floors and equipment wherever Ballet Mobile visits.  He is assisted by wonderful volunteers.

Starting with love, Ballet Mobile combines beautiful ballet, music, group movement, and mental imagery. Hearts touch hearts to create unique, lasting experiences that raise people's spirits and improve their physical and mental well-being.

Evidence-based research findings about the positive effects of dance and music underpin Ballet Mobile's house calls. Everyone has the chance to move, retrieve cherished memories, regain inspiration, watch wonderful artistry, and dance with their hearts if not their bodies.

The magic lasts long after Ballet Mobile leaves. Handmade silk flower bouquets are gifted to each audience and staff member to help them remember their personal Ballet Mobile experience.
