Dance Health Appeal 2025

Support English National Ballet in raising £80,000 to sustain the vital work of our pioneering Dance for Dementia and Dance for Parkinson’s programmes.

Donate online

English National Ballet’s Dance Health programmes promote a person-centred, artistic experience, enhancing fluidity of movement, freedom of expression and improved mobility. Alongside the social aspect, the classes contribute to the daily management of the symptoms of Parkinsons’s and Dementia.

The appeal will raise essential funds that can be used to reach out further into communities with deeper, longer-term impact.

Your gift, whatever the size, will make a real difference. Due to the kindness of our Match Fund Donors any donation (up to a total of £40,000), will be doubled. This means that your donation will go twice as far!

Dance Health testimonials

It puts me in a different zone, I can imagine myself somewhere else, you can sing and dance freely: there is no judgement here.

Dance for Dementia Participant

English National Ballet classes have made such a positive impact on my life and the benefits are enormous to health and well-being.

Participant of English National Ballet's Dance for Parkinson's in London

As a worn out (!) carer I found the whole experience of being involved with your team uplifting reinvigorating and what a wonderful way to give one a sense of worth, to be able to think with a tingling down the back we have danced (!) with the greats. A sense of pride restored when pride is so far from normal day to day living with Parkinson’s, it is such a degrading illness.
