Solidarity with the Ukrainian people can be brought to the stage. The unifying and moving power of dance creates a bond that secures a piece of the future.

BALLET FOR LIFE - by Iana Salenko: A ballet charity gala for Ukraine with soloists from the largest ballet companies in Europe

Since February 24, 2022, almost every time our children smile at us, a feeling of compassion rises in us - compassion for all the children who will never be able to smile at their parents again because these people gave their lives to protect the country in which they live and in which their children grow up. We know that nothing in the world can replace a child's father or mother, but we feel it is our duty and a matter close to our hearts to do everything we can to help these children to cope with their fates more easily. We believe that these children are the future of Ukraine and the world, because they experience that a peaceful and livable world can only succeed if people stick together and defend the good with all their strength.

The BALLET FOR LIFE gala in the city of Berlin and donations received beforehand will be used to support people suffering acute emergencies in Ukraine, especially children. BALLET FOR LIFE is a symbol of this unity and can only be realized thanks to the determined solidarity of all those involved. We are eternally grateful for this solidarity to all those involved, all our supporters and all our guests.
