WE ARE THE BOOKMOBILE OF DANCE
Just as a bookmobile brings books to people everywhere, Ballet Mobile brings beautiful ballet to unconventional locations. We combine movement, music, and mental imagery in ways that touch the heart and lift the spirits.
|
We transform living rooms, atriums, hallways, and even kitchens into beautiful experiences that live forever in people's hearts.

MUSIC, MOVEMENT, MENTAL IMAGERY
Discover the restorative powers of ballet, and use "the 3 Ms" -music, movement, and mental imagery - for healing and well-being. Everyone in Ballet Mobile is a volunteer who loves to share the magic of the 3 M's. Take a look at our Scrapbooks, and enjoy the video clip from our original Tolkien Sleeping Beauty.

HOUSE CALLS, NOT CURTAIN CALLS Ballet Mobile's theatre is wherever we dance, and we make house calls, not curtain calls. You can best understand what we do by reading what people have said about us. Here are some recent comments. Read more on our Community page.
