A joint effort by Forge Breast Cancer Survivor Center and The Dance Foundation, this five-week ballet class is for anyone aged 14 and older who has been affected by breast cancer, whether they be survivors, patients and/or loved ones of those affected by the disease. Participants will meet each week and will not only learn real ballet instruction from a professional, but they will also learn how this form of dance can reveal and improve how they feel, navigating breast cancer. Ballet shoes are welcome but not necessary to participate. This class is free and open to the appropriate public, but those interested must reserve their spots. To learn more, visit here.
