Chelsea Ballet has always had a policy of performing at hospitals and residential homes. In this way we can take ballet to those who cannot get to a theatre and give them the experience of dancing with the dancers, the costumes and the music giving a full theatrical experience.

We do these for free because all the dancers welcome the opportunity to perform and get a chance to perform pieces that they wish to do. It also is very rewarding with the immediate feedback that we get from these audiences and the ultimate satisfaction is when we consistently get asked back to perform again. If a venue wishes to give a donation to our funds that is gratefully received, as we are self supporting, but it is not a condition of us giving a performance.
