🎥 Ballet4Wellbeing Featured on Channel 9
A milestone moment for Ballet4Wellbeing. A celebration of movement, music and human connection.
We are incredibly proud and honoured that Ballet4Wellbeing was featured on Channel 9 News, showcasing the positive impact our seated ballet programs are having on older Australians, including those living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease and reduced mobility.
This national television story shines a light on something we witness every single day—when movement is combined with beautiful music, compassion and genuine human connection, remarkable things happen.

At Ballet4Wellbeing, every session is carefully designed to nurture the whole person.
Our unique seated ballet program helps participants improve:
🩰 Mobility and flexibility
💪 Strength and posture
🧠 Cognitive stimulation
❤️ Emotional wellbeing
🤝 Social connection and confidence
Whether someone is living independently, attending a community class or residing in an aged care home, our goal is always the same:
To bring joy, dignity and meaningful connection through the beauty of ballet.
National Recognition
Being invited to share our story on Channel 9 was an incredibly special moment for our entire team.
The feature was filmed during one of our regular sessions at Mercy Health Mont Clare in Perth, where residents welcomed the cameras and generously shared their experiences.
The story beautifully captured what Ballet4Wellbeing is all about:
✨ Smiles replacing isolation
✨ Music awakening memories
✨ Gentle movement building confidence
✨ Residents laughing, engaging and connecting with one another
It was a wonderful opportunity to highlight the important role that creative movement can play in supporting healthy ageing and improving quality of life.
