All Ballet Mobile directors, dancers, and roadies are volunteers.

Our generous Ballet Mobile donors and volunteers ensure the continued ability of Ballet Mobile to carry out its mission of bringing healing ballet and music to as many people as possible who otherwise could not experience live ballet in an interactive and loving presentation.

People contribute to Ballet Mobile, Inc. in many ways. Monetary gifts pay for roadie supplies, equipment and equipment maintenance, costumes, and the dancers' ballet supplies. Each pair of pointe shoes costs over $100.00 and lasts only one house call. Donations cover the costs for the signature flower bouquets that every single audience and staff member dance with during the performances, no matter what kind of chair, wheelchair, or gurney they sit in.

People give in so many other ways: dancing, teaching, choreographing, making the Ballet Mobile signature flower bouquets, taking pictures, helping with administrative tasks, sewing and decorating costumes, and being "ROADIES" at house calls.

Roadies are the dancers' and directors' true heroes of Ballet Mobile, doing whatever they can in the Mobile part of Ballet Mobile by unloading, setting up, and reloading. They distribute flowers and programs to the audiences, sharing their time and hearts with so many people. They make the magic happen.

As one of our beloved Roadies put it, "Ballet Mobile is all about the roadies!"

You keep us on the road.

Join us - through volunteering your time and talents. Or just come to a house call and talk to people. As little or much as you can. You will feel the same peace, hope, joy, and strength that our audiences - and all of us - do.

To learn more about volunteering, call 410-382-1377, or email info@balletmobile.org.

We are so grateful for all your gifts.

And we are so thankful for our courageous Superhero, Jonny.

Jonathan Elliott, 1982-2020, Our Beloved Superhero, "MORE LIFE"

Thank you for helping to make our dream come true.

We miss you. We dance for you.

During 2020 and early 2021, Ballet Mobile was not able to visit our audiences in person, but we stayed in touch! We made and delivered over 6400 individually-wrapped handmade silk bouquets and ballet cards.

We treasure the notes we received then - and continue to receive - from our precious seniors and their loving families and Activities Directors.
