Ballet Mobile, Inc. - Upcoming Events

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all --

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm --

I've heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet, never, in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me.

Emily Dickinson

Gently Holding the Feathers of Hope

UNTIL it is safe to visit our precious audiences, we ...

+ Rehearse new programs that will be particularly meaningful

+ Make our signature flower bouquets in sanitized areas

and then wrap each of them in plastic for safety

+ Hold the people we serve forever in our hearts

SCHEDULE OF HOUSE CALLS

We are re-scheduling house calls as and whenever necessary.

Please be well and safe.
We miss you.

If we cannot see you in 2020, we'll see you in 2021!

We are booking 2021 now with HOPE in our hearts.

... Ballet Mobile's On-the-Road Calendar continuously updated!

Ballet Mobile makes house calls, not curtain calls.

We bring really good ballet to people

who might otherwise might not be able to experience and enjoy it.

To book a house call, to get help with classes for seniors, or to find out more, contact us at info@balletmobile.org or call 410-382-1377.

Here's what Organizational Leaders say about Ballet Mobile:

"After experiencing your program, one of my most troubled residents completely changed his whole attitude. Thank you."

"You make my residents so happy. That's all that matters to me."

"My residents have not stopped raving about you."

"This is a one-of-a-kind experience for my residents - for all of us."

"Every time I see your team in action I am so impressed. Every single one of you really cares, and you all work so well together. Your friendship extends to my residents and includes them all."

"Ballet Mobile is the most awesome thing I have ever seen."

"Even my frailest people feel stronger and happier after you've been here.

And it lasts."

"Every time you're here they love you more."

"Today I saw one of my residents who doesn't come to anything sit down and watch every minute ... and love it. It made me so happy to see him so happy."

"My people were overwhelmed by the beauty. It was so heartwarming to watch."

"It's more than the performance. It's the fact that you all care so much."

"It's incredible how you get everyone moving and engaged."

I watched every single resident's face change - soften - become young and happy again."

"Whatever Ballet Mobile does is always the best."

"You're everything I heard you were ... and so much more."

"I can't believe you give every staff member a flower, too. You really are something.
We all benefit from your house calls."

"This means the world to my people. They'll talk about it for weeks and weeks. And they really treasure their flowers. It's as if they can re-live today through those flowers."

"Our residents listen to a great deal of music, but rarely if ever get to see dancing. It was wonderful to see their eyes light up today."

"It is always such a pleasure when you visit.

You raise us all up."

"My people may not talk out loud, but they talk with their eyes and hearts. And their eyes and hearts say how much they love you."

"Blessings to all of you. We look forward to each of your visits."

"You came here today and changed lives. It was remarkable. I have no words."

"It's always magical when you are here."

"My residents love you so much."

"You give my residents joy, beauty, tears, laughter, and hope. You give them what they need most: Love."

"What you do for my residents is so wonderful. They really are different after an experience with you. Happier. Complete."

"My residents needed this so much. And now they can't stop talking about it! You've made them all so happy. They will remember your love and caring - and all the beauty you brought and gave to them."

"My residents have never loved a group as much as they love you."

"You are my favorite group. You inspire all of us, and we all love you."

"My residents love having you here. They talk about it for a long time afterwards."

"We are so grateful for Ballet Mobile and for all you do for us. Every single one of you goes way above and beyond for my residents."

"I have never seen all my people participating so much at the same time - so alert, awake, and happy.

You breathed life into all of them today."

"I know if they could have, they all would have stood to give you standing ovations after each dance of love. Thanks to each and every one of you for sharing your gifts of happiness with my families."

"You care about my residents so much, and they truly love you.

So do I."

"You remind us all that we are not defined by the kind of chair we sit in. Ballet Mobile reminds us that we are defined by Love."

"I've seen more smiles here today than in a long time."

"You make my people happy. That is the most important thing to me."

"You really lifted everyone's spirits. I saw a transformation in everyone there."

"Last night was magical...it touched the hearts and souls of SO MANY!!!

It was an honor to be in the audience."

"You bring unconditional love, kindness, and friendship...

You allow my patients to not focus on their pain or disease...."

"Hands down, every single one of my residents had nothing but positive things to say. You really brightened everyone's day."

"Today I saw people smile who rarely if ever do. What a gift."

"What you do is so much more than entertainment. It is an experience of the soul that touches all my residents deeply and stays with them for a long, long time."

"You bring what they loved so much but cannot get out to enjoy at this stage of their lives. You bring it with heart and devotion that is so apparent in each dancer's and road crew's interactions."

"You are the kindest people. I feel renewed and healed when you are here. And you do the same for my folks whom I love with all my heart."

"You are so precious to me because you bring so much more than entertainment. You bring us joy - and what we all need most: HOPE."

"All my residents have stars in their eyes, thanks to you."

"You are by far the most effective and inspiring group I invite to be with my residents. You heal us all."

"While my residents absolutely love the dancers, they also love the Roadies. They are so nice and helpful before and during and after the performance."

"Your organization is truly made up of angels who bring such joy to those who watch the performances. We are so thankful..."

"What you bring my residents is so different, so special and meaningful. It changes them."

"She loved you so much and looked forward to your visits. She kept every single flower you ever gave her. You made her feel special. You cared about her, and she loved you all."
