World Ballet Day 2024

babyballet

Shades Dancewear are celebrating World Ballet Day 2024 with babyballet!

This World Ballet Day we are celebrating the beauty of diversity in Ballet and how Ballet can bring together dancers from around the globe. At the heart of Shades mission is a commitment to inclusivity – we believe that every dancer, of every background and every skin tone, should feel seen, represented and supported. That’s why we are proud to provide dancewear in a range of skin tones, ensuring that every performer can express themselves authentically. As we mark this day, we reaffirm our dedication to fostering diversity in the Ballet world, from babyballet to performing on big stages. We must continue to work to create a welcoming space for all dancers to shine!

Keep reading to find out what incredible work babyballet are doing to improve representation and inclusivity for current and future generations…

Last year, babyballet joined forces with The TIRED Movement on their mission to unite the dance community, creating a world that, “Allows dancers of all ethnic backgrounds to feel fully represented.” In August 2023, we partnered up with the brilliant minds behind Shades Dancewear , who supply us with our beautiful range of skin-toned ballet shoes and socks, available to buy from our babyballet store.

At babyballet, creating a space for everyone to enjoy dance has been our driving force for the past 19 years.

So, this World Ballet Day, we’re making three really important promises to our little baby ballet stars:

🤎 We promise to continue to stand up for better representation in the dance world. That starts with our children seeing more dancers who look like themselves.

🤎 We promise to continue to listen and include. Every week, around 20,000 little stars dance through the doors of a babyballet class and are made to feel welcome. Inclusion looks different from child-to-child but through our can-do attitude and commitment to continuous development as a team, we strive for every family to feel that they belong in our classes.

🤎 We promise to never stop using our powerful voice to speak up and take positive action, making the world a better place for all our little stars.
