Frequently asked questions

Is this event only for cancer patients and survivors?

Yes, this event is specifically for anyone who has been diagnoses with cancer. It does not have to be specifically breast cancer, but any cancer. We want this event to be a safe space for the cancer community to share and move with each other. There will be future events where we do a mix of both.

I have never done ballet before, can I still attend the event?

Yes! Absolutely! The Onco-Ballet for healing class is for everybody. Both non-dancers and dancers. There is no need for any previous experience. We will also give modifications and break down the basics to make ballet more approachable.

I just had surgery and still have restrictions, can I still attend?

Yes! Please just inform us upon arrival of any restrictions with movement and we will make sure we give you modifications for the classes. Just make sure to listen to your body and do what is right for you.

I am still in active treatment, can I still attend?

Yes! We welcome everyone at every stage of treatment. Our hope is to help you find some movement healing along your journey. Please feel free to modify anything and do as much or as little as you are feeling up for. It is always ok to take it easy and sit and rest when needed.

I am immunocompromised, will people be wearing masks?

Our event is mask optional. If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask or needing some extra space, please feel free to do so. We will also remind attendees that if they are not feeling well, to please refrain from joining the event.

I can't make it for the entire event, can I just show up for part of it?

Yes, but please note the agenda above and try to arrive at the start time of specific events as to not disturb the other attendees. We prefer that you join us for the entire event, but understand that may not be possible with time constraints and would still love for you to join us!
