LGBTQ+ Beginner and Intermediate Ballet Class

LGBTQ+ friendly beginners and intermediate ballet class. A holistic practice that will improve your strength, coordination and flexibility. This weekly ballet class is designed for members of the LGBTQ+ community who want to learn the foundations of ballet or build on existing skills in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment. Through a holistic approach to movement, the class helps improve strength, coordination, flexibility, and body awareness. Participants are encouraged to explore their physical abilities and creativity through the expressive art of ballet. No formal ballet attire is required. Simply wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Ballet shoes are optional.

More about Chelsea

Greater London, England

Chelsea sits right on the Thames and manages to pack a proper punch for family fun without feeling like a tourist trap. The library runs storytimes that leave little ones giggling while parents catch a breather, and the Hall of Remembrance hosts talks that make history feel less dusty and more relevant. Pub quizzes turn up from time to time and community groups keep the calendar full of interest. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you aren't wasting your Sunday scrolling through a dozen websites looking for something local.
