A holistic practice that will improve your strength\, coordination and flexibility.\n\n\nThis 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. \nThrough a holistic approach to movement\, the class helps improve strength\, coordination\, flexibility\, and body awareness.  \nParticipants are encouraged to explore their physical abilities and creativity through the expressive art of ballet. \nNo formal ballet attire is required.

Our mission is to break down the elitist barriers that have long surrounded this art form and reimagine ballet as a space of freedom\, expression\, and belonging. Regardless of age\, race\, body type\, background\, or experience\, every body deserves the chance to move\, create\, and be seen. \nThrough the healing and transformative power of dance\, we bring communities together — nurturing confidence\, creativity\, and connection in spaces where people feel safe to explore their movement and identity. \nFounded in South London in 2020\, Ballet in the Park continues to grow as a vibrant and inclusive community where ballet is not about perfection\, but about joy\, expression\, and the courage to show up exactly as you are. \nFollow our journey and connect with us on social media @balletinthepark. \nClass disclaimer \nBy participating in this dance class\, you acknowledge and understand the inherent risks associated with physical activity.  \nYou agree to consult with your healthcare provider before engaging in any exercise program.  \nThe organisers and instructors are not liable for any injuries or health issues that may arise during or after the class.  \nYour participation indicates your acceptance of personal responsibility for your wellbeing and releases the organisers from any liability. \nAccessibility at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the Centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 symptoms including a headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough or chills. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.

Each pose is timed\, and we may suggest different drawing techniques to inspire and warm up your artistic flow. \nWhat You’ll Need: \n\nDrawing Surface: Get creative—paper\, an iPad\, or cardboard boxes!\nDrawing Materials: Anything goes—pencils\, charcoal\, pastels\, or paints.

We ask that you respect the model’s privacy by NOT taking any photos or recordings during the session. \nTicket sales contribute to paying our models\, covering hire fees\, and ensuring we can continue providing these fantastic sessions. \nFollow us on Instagram for more updates and to build a vibrant\, creative community together! \nAbout the facilitator \nMatt David (they/them) is a queer artist and founder of Kings for Life (Drawing). \nKings for Life (Drawing) is a workshop allowing artists to experience drag in a few ways and be able to draw new and exciting subjects\, as well as drag kings/things to gain new skills in life modelling and gain work outside of just the nightlife scene. \nThey have facilitated multiple creative workshops\, including Self Portrait workshops for Positive East\, alongside making their own artwork with a focus on portraiture and life drawing. \nAccessibility \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid-19 safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough and chills. \nMasks and hand sanitiser are available free of charge. \nFor current information on Covid please visit the NHS website. \nDonate to the CentreWe rely on donations to ensure that the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre can keep its doors open for years to come. \nTo donate or become a Friend of the Centre\, visit our website.
