The Ballerina Project India

place India + 9 more

A place where aspiring dancers and others can learn more about the fascinating art of ballet!

I started The Ballerina Project India to make ballet more inclusive and accessible. Ballet changed my life, but I’ve seen how harmful body standards and lack of awareness can be. We use our blog to talk about injury prevention, body positivity, and why ballet should be for everyone. It supports SDGs 3 and 10, and maybe even 1 and 8 in the long run. It isn't just a blog, but a community for all!

Target group
Through The Ballerina Project India, I hope to bring more awareness to how dance supports physical, mental, and emotional health. I want education to value movement and self-expression, not just academics, and to create space for conversations around body image, inclusion, and the power of the arts.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

I created The Ballerina Project India because ballet changed my life, but I’ve also seen its harmful side — from body image pressure to injuries. In India, many people still don’t know the benefits of ballet. This project spreads awareness, breaks stereotypes, and makes ballet more inclusive and accessible to all.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

In practice, The Ballerina Project India is a blog and growing community where we share articles, insights, and stories about ballet. We cover topics like injury prevention, body image, history, and technique. It’s a space for dancers and beginners to learn, feel seen, and discover how ballet can be for everyone.

How has it been spreading?

We’ve been sharing our blog through word of mouth, school networks, and social media. Dancers, teachers, and even non-dancers have started engaging with the content, sharing it, and reaching out. It’s slowly building into a community of people who care about making ballet more inclusive, especially in places where it’s still growing.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

If you want to try it, visit our blog and explore the posts. We talk about everything from ballet basics to deeper topics like body image and inclusivity. It’s for dancers, non-dancers, and anyone curious about the art form. You can read, share, or even reach out to contribute. Check it out: theballerinaprojectindia.blogspot.com
