ENBEldersCo

Launched in 2018, ENBEldersCo offers an inclusive, friendly environment that promotes creativity, wellbeing and strength. Meeting once a week on a termly basis, the group focus on both ballet and contemporary dance techniques, reflecting the varied and diverse styles seen in English National Ballet’s repertoire.

ENBEldersCo are a dance performance group for older adults, showcasing their work at a number of events and locations across London throughout the year. Previous performance opportunities include Hounslow Older People’s Festival, Ignition Dance Festival and Elixir Festival. Each year, the group work with world-class professional artists, choreographers, and musicians, to create new dance works, promoting dance for older adults.

Most recently, ENBEldersCo worked with choreographer Jenna Lee and composer Charlotte Harding to create Timeless, a new work drawing inspiration from the vibrant spirit of Gershwin. Exploring themes of memory, first experiences, and renewal, this new work is a celebration of life’s journey and premiered at English National Ballet’s performance platform Re-Play in 2024.

Dancers meet once per week during term time at Chiswick Town Hall. If you would like to register your interest in joining ENBEldersCo, please contact English National Ballet engagement@ballet.org.uk
